LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Sheriff's Office has released the name of a local man who died following a crash on Saturday afternoon in Nice.

Lt. Steve Brooks said the crash victim was 57-year-old Douglas Allen Quiett of Nice.

Quiett had been driving his 2004 Ford F150 pickup eastbound on Lakeshore Boulevard when he crossed the westbound lane, went off the road, hit two parked pickups, a fence and a walnut tree, as Lake County News has reported.

Northshore Fire personnel extricated Quiett from the pickup and began working to revive him before transporting him to Sutter Lakeside Hospital, where he died less than an hour after the crash, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The CHP's initial report on the crash said that alcohol may have been a contributing factor.

Brooks said there will be a postmortem examination in order to ascertain if, in fact, alcohol was involved.
