ROHNERT PARK – On 11/02/23, at approximately 7:38 PM, the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety received a 911 call from a bystander advising a pedestrian was struck by the SMART train on Golf Course Drive near the intersection of Commerce Boulevard. Officers arrived on scene and located a 42 year old male subject deceased in the roadway.
