NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – A Tuesday evening crash on Highway 29 injured two people and sent one of them to a regional trauma center with major injuries.
The two-vehicle wreck occurred at approximately 5:25 p.m. on the Napa County side of Mount St. Helena, according to the California Highway Patrol's Napa area office.
The names of the two drivers were not immediately available, but the CHP identified them as a 26-year-old Clearlake woman and a 60-year-old Santa Rosa man, both driving late model Toyotas, the models of which were not reported.
The CHP said the Clearlake driver was headed northbound on Highway 29 north of Tubbs Lane at an unknown speed when she attempted to overtake another vehicle that wasn't involved in the crash.
As she was exiting the passing lane she lost control and veered toward the southbound lane, hitting the right front of the Santa Rosa man's vehicle with the front of her Toyota, the CHP said.
The Clearlake driver had minor injuries, including lacerations, while the CHP said the driver from Santa Rosa had major injuries, among them lacerations and a fractured sternum.
An air ambulance landed nearby and transported the man to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, the CHP said.
The CHP said no arrests were made.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A Clearlake Oaks man injured in a collision in late November has died of his injuries.
Robert Roberts, 80, of Clearlake Oaks died on Dec. 14 of injuries he sustained in a crash on Nov. 20, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Kory Reynolds.
Roberts had been involved in a head-on crash at the intersection of Highway 20 and Highway 53, known as the “Y,” according to the CHP.
Roberts was driving a 2002 Chevrolet S-10 pickup with 64-year-old Mary Roberts, also of Clearlake Oaks, as his passenger when they were hit head-on by a 2002 Oldsmobile Alero driven eastbound by Leslie Uboldi Jr., 52, of Eureka, the CHP reported.
Uboldi had failed to stop for the intersection's stop sign and hit Roberts' pickup while traveling at about 60 miles per hour, according to the CHP report. The force of the crash ejected Mary Roberts, who was not wearing a seat belt, from Roberts' pickup.
Originally, Roberts had been taken to St. Helena Hospital Clear Lake for treatment of major injuries, the CHP said.
Reynolds said Roberts had later been taken to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital and then, on Dec. 6, was transferred to a Cloverdale health care facility, where he died.
Reynolds did not have information on whether charges might be brought in the case.

LOWER LAKE, Calif. – The Lower Lake man who died Tuesday morning after being hit by two separate vehicles while riding his bicycle along a foggy stretch of Highway 29 has been identified.
Lloyd Lee Knight, 59, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crashes, which occurred minutes apart north of Clayton Creek Road Tuesday morning, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The CHP said Knight was riding his bicycle northbound at about 7:44 a.m. when he was hit by a 1999 Chevrolet Suburban driven by 25-year-old Aimee Christine Hubbard of Clearlake.
Knight was knocked into the northbound lane and as he was getting up he was hit again, this time by a 2008 Prius driven by John Weeks, 62, of Hidden Valley Lake, the CHP said.
Hubbard is alleged to have left the scene but reported to the Clearlake Police Department later on Tuesday that she had been involved in the crash, according to the CHP.
The CHP arrested Hubbard on Tuesday on a charge of hit and run causing injury or death. Her bail was set at $50,000. Hubbard later posted the required percentage of bail and was released from the Lake County Jail.
The two crashes remain under investigation, the CHP said.
