CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A single-car crash sent a child to the hospital Tuesday afternoon.

The crash occurred on Highway 53 just south of Ogulin Canyon Road and across from the Konocti Unified School District bus barn at around 3:30 p.m., according to the California Highway Patrol.

A 2004 Honda Accord traveling southbound crossed the northbound lane and went off the road’s east shoulder, running into a 6 foot high pile of dirt and rocks being used as road construction material, according to reports from the scene.

A 3-year-old girl riding in the car who was reportedly not restrained properly suffered abdominal trauma and was flown to the hospital. Reports did not indicate the extent of her injuries, of if anyone else riding in the car was injured.

More information wasn’t available on the crash from Clearlake Police Department Tuesday evening.
