HEALDSBURG, CA (June 6, 2018) – A man was killed early Wednesday morning after an SUV crashed into a tractor-trailer near Dry Creek Road. The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office identified him as 36-year-old Roger Lewis Evans of Ukiah.
 
According to the California Highway Patrol, the incident took place at 2:15 AM near a construction zone on Highway 101. A 2001 Chevy Tahoe, driven by Evans, failed to observe the traffic slowing down and hit a tractor-trailer, driven by 58-year-old Luis Armando Marroquin of Richmond.
 
Evans and his passenger, an unidentified woman, were transported to the Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.
