Incident Summary
 
On August 7, 2023, at approximately 8:40 PM, personnel from the Petaluma Police Department and Petaluma Fire Department were dispatched to the area of Stony Point Rd and Petaluma Blvd N on report of a vehicle collision.
 
Officers arrived on scene and learned Douglas Green (70, Petaluma Resident) was traveling westbound on Petaluma Blvd N and made a right turn to travel northbound on Stony Point Rd.  At that time, another motorist was traveling southbound on Stony Point Rd in the left turn lane.  Green made a wide turn and crossed into the southbound lanes of traffic.  Green ultimately collided head-on into the front of the other vehicle. 
 
The collision injured the other involved driver who was evaluated by a paramedic on scene and ultimately transported by ambulance to a local hospital. 
 
A records check indicated Green’s driver license was suspended as a result of a prior DUI.  The investigating officer observed Green had objective signs of intoxication and conducted a DUI investigation.  Upon completion of the DUI investigation Green was placed under arrest for the following charges:
 
23153(a) VC - DUI Collision Causing Injury
14601.2(a) VC - Drive While License Suspended for DUI
 
Green was later booked at the Sonoma County Main Adult Detention Facility on the above listed charges.
