The road closure was so crews could repair the utility pole that was damaged from the crash, authorities said. SRPD announced Sunday evening at 7:32 p.m. that the road reopened and the utility pole repairs were completed.
Police are investigating if alcohol consumption was a factor in the crash. The intersection of Redwood Highway and Joseph Court is located in San Rafael's Terra Linda community and next to Highway 101.
