LAKEPORT, Calif. – A Lakeport woman sustained minor injuries and was arrested for driving under the influence Wednesday morning after her vehicle went off the road while traveling over the Hopland Grade.

Teena Rangel, 24, was injured in the crash, which occurred on Highway 175 over the Hopland Grade at about 5 a.m. Wednesday morning, according to Officer Kory Reynolds of the California Highway Patrol's Clear Lake Area office.

Reynolds said Rangel was driving her 2002 Mercury Sable westbound at an unknown speed when she failed to negotiate a right curve in the roadway.  

Rangel's vehicle ran off the north shoulder and down a steep embankment, Reynolds said.

Rangel sustained minor injuries to her forehead, right ankle and left side rib cage, according to Reynolds.

Rangel later was arrested for driving under the influence at Sutter Lakeside Hospital, he said.

Traffic control was in effect for approximately 15 minutes when the vehicle was being recovered, according to Reynolds.

The collision is under investigation by Officer Steve Curtis.
