CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A Clearlake man determined to be at fault in a Monday afternoon crash that injured three people was arrested for driving under the influence and hit-and-run after he left the scene of the collision only to crash into a nearby business.

Robert Lawrence Millsap, 26, was arrested for felony DUI causing injury, felony hit-and-run and possession of a narcotic controlled substance, according to Sgt. Tim Hobbs of the Clearlake Police Department.

Hobbs said Monday night that at 4:30 p.m. Monday, July 18, Clearlake Police officers responded to the 14600 Block of Lakeshore Drive for a two-vehicle injury traffic collision.

Upon arriving on scene officers located one of the involved vehicles – a red 2003 Dodge Neon – which had sustained major damage in the westbound lane of Lakeshore Drive, Hobbs said.

He said the vehicle had three occupants who sustained injuries.

Fire and medical personnel from the Lake County Fire Protection District arrived on scene and began treating the victims, one of whom had to be extricated from the vehicle, Hobbs said.

The driver of the Dodge Neon, a 42-year-old Clearlake woman, sustained moderate injuries and was transported by ambulance to St. Helena Hospital Clearlake, Hobbs said.

He said the 51-year-old female passenger in the vehicle sustained major injuries and was transported by helicopter to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital.

A 12-year-old female juvenile passenger in the vehicle also sustained major injuries and was transported by helicopter to Children's Hospital & Research Center of Oakland, Hobbs reported.

Hobbs said a 2003 white Ford F350 which had sustained minor damage was located a short distance away at the entrance to Redbud Park. Millsap was identified as the sole occupant of the vehicle.

Through the course of the investigation it was determined Millsap was the at-fault driver in the collision, Hobbs said.

After the collision Millsap left the scene in his vehicle only to crash into a business a short distance away, according to Hobbs.

Hobbs said it was determined that Millsap had been driving while under the influence of a controlled substance.

Millsap was arrested and booked into the Lake County Jail, with bail set at $10,000. He later posted bail and was released, according to jail records.

Hobbs said late Monday night that the two crash victims transported by air ambulance to out-of-county hospitals were in stable condition.
