Davis police are still investigating Friday’s rollover crash that injured a 25-year-old Davis woman at an East Davis intersection.

However, the Police Department has corrected its earlier version of events, saying now that Megan Galloway was traveling southbound on Pole Line Road at Fifth Street when the driver’s side of her car was struck by a westbound vehicle driven by 56-year-old Jim Provenza of Davis.

Galloway, whose car rolled from the impact, was taken to the UC Davis Medical Center with injuries that police described as “significant” but not life-threatening. Provenza, a member of the Yolo County Board of Supervisors, was not injured in the 8 a.m. collision.

“As far as determining fault, we can’t do that at this point,” Davis police Lt. Paul Doroshov said Monday. “They both believe they had the right of way, so it’s going to come down to witnesses.”

Doroshov said the officer investigating the crash has additional witnesses to interview before making a recommendation regarding who was at fault in the crash. That recommendation then needs to be approved by a traffic sergeant before the findings are announced.

Meanwhile, police have asked a city electrician to check the traffic signal at Fifth and Pole Line to determine whether it is functioning properly.

The intersection is equipped with red-light cameras but the system has been disabled and was not operating at the time of the crash, Doroshov said.
