Manessis Alexander, 24, ID’d as Suspect in Sonoma County Fatal DUI Crash

SONOMA COUNTY, CA (January 16, 2022) – Authorities detained Manessis Alexander after a fatal DUI crash on Highway 116 in Sonoma County.

The California Highway Patrol determined that the 24-year-old Novato man was under the influence of drugs when the wreck occurred on Sunday.

The incident began when Manessis T. Alexander was driving a 2017 Cadillac recklessly west on Highway 116 in Sonoma County. At the same time, an Infiniti SUV and a 2016 Ford F-350 were going east.

CHP said Manessis Alexander crossed over solid double yellow lines, passing other vehicles. He then bounced off and struck the Infiniti, just west of Watmaugh Road.

1 Killed, 3 Injured in Wreck

The Cadillac spun out of control into the path of the pickup truck. The Press Democrat and KRON 4 News wrote that the accident occurred at about 11:15 a.m.

A passenger in the Cadillac, a 16-year-old boy, died at the scene. Manessis Alexander and another 16-year-old boy riding with him suffered severe injuries as a result of the crash.

A helicopter took the boy to the Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital for treatment. A ground ambulance rushed him to the Queen of the Valley Hospital in Napa.

The other two drivers, a 56-year-old Mill Valley woman and a 63-year-old Napa man, survived with minor injuries. Paramedics treated them at the site.

Meanwhile, CHP soon arrested Manessis Alexander on suspicion of felony DUI. The Sonoma County crash DUI is still under investigation.
