Napa, CA (February 16, 2023) – Wednesday afternoon, a 12-year-old Sonoma girl sustained a minor injury in a crash on Riverside Drive.

Napa CHP said a 54-year-old Petaluma man driving westbound on Boyes Boulevard stopped at a stop sign to cross Riverside Drive, as the 12-year-old bicyclist rode northbound on Riverside Drive.

The biker continued to cross the road because she believed the car had stopped for her.

The girl sustained minor injuries and no transport to a hospital was required.

Further investigation into this crash is underway.
