Two people were injured Monday afternoon after their SUV crashed into a tree off Mark West Springs Road, authorities said.

Their Suburban hit the tree head-on in the 12:10 p.m. crash near Mark West Lane, north of Riebli Road. The driver was able to get out on his own, but the collapsed front end pinned the passenger’s feet.

Firefighters pried open the passenger’s door to get the man out, Sonoma County Fire Capt. Neil Nicholson said. Ambulances rushed both the passenger and driver to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital.

Sonoma County and Santa Rosa firefighters responded to the crash. One lane remained open, Nicholson said.

Mark West Springs Road is a heavily used rural route connecting northern Santa Rosa with Napa County.
