KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – A local man injured in a Tuesday evening collision near Kelseyville was arrested for driving under the influence.

Demel Deon Bullock, 25, of Clearlake Oaks was arrested at the scene of the crash, according to a report from California Highway Patrol Officer Greg Buchholz.

The crash occurred just after 6 p.m. on Highway 29 south of Highway 281, Buchholz reported.

Bullock was driving a 2006 GMC van northbound on Highway 29 south of Highway 281 at approximately 55 miles per hour when he crossed the double-yellow lines into the southbound lane, Buchholz said.

Benjamin Bonham, 22, of Lower Lake was driving southbound in a 1988 Jeep SUV and saw Bullock travel into his lane, Buchholz reported.

Bonham made an abrupt turn to avoid the collision, but Buchholz said the two vehicles hit head-on, causing Bullock’s van to overturn onto the highway’s shoulder.

Buchholz said alcohol was believed to be a factor in the collision, and Bullock was arrested for suspicion of DUI. He was then transported to St. Helena Hospital Clearlake where he was treated for minor injuries.

Lake County Jail records showed that Bullock was booked into jail early Wednesday morning, with bail set at $5,000. He later posted bail and was released.
