Tragic Accident after Car Crosses Double Yellow Lines
A football coach of the Santa Rosa Junior College has been accused of killing a student at Sonoma State University in a suspected DUI automobile accident that occurred on Sunday, November 5. Shortly after 9:00 p.m. that night, 35-year old male, Logologoa Tevaseu, was traveling southbound in his 2006 Dodge along Lakeville Highway, just east from Petaluma when he distractedly crossed a set of two yellow lines and crashed into the front of a 2015 Toyota.
Immediately following the car accident between the Dodge Ram and the Toyota Corolla, three additional vehicles collided either into each other or the Toyota, leaving multiple people with minor and/or moderate wounds.
Sadly, the owner of the Toyota, Paulette Geronimo Quiba, was killed in the accident.
DUI Allegations against SRJC Football Coach
After Santa Rosa CHP officers arrived at the crash site, Logologoa, a defensive line coach for the Santa Rosa JC Bear Cubs team, was refusing to allow CHP officials to take a blood draw.
Logologoa did not submit a plea in his initial court appearance. Currently, Logologoa is staying in Sonoma County’s jail without bail. His upcoming court appearance will occur sometime in the first half of next week.
According to the Sonoma County District Attorney Office, Logologoa has also been convicted of DUI in 2012. Court records show that he was sentenced to serve 10 days in jail.

In addition to her pre-business studies, she was also a robust member of the Accounting Forum, the Filipino American Association, and Phi Sigma Sigma Sorority.
