LOWER LAKE, Calif. – A second person has died as a result of a Tuesday morning crash near Lower Lake.

The single-vehicle wreck, which occurred on Highway 29 north of Diener Drive at 2:40 a.m., has now claimed the lives of a 53-year-old Clearlake Oaks man and a 28-year-old Kelseyville man, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The names of the two men have so far not been released, pending notification of kin, the CHP said.

According to a report from investigating Officer Adam Garcia, 26-year-old Dylan Waters of Clearlake Oaks was driving a 1999 Chevy Tahoe SUV southbound on Highway 29 when he failed to negotiate a left curve in the road.

The Tahoe continued straight off the road and struck an oak tree, according to Garcia’s report.

The 53-year-old passenger, riding in the right front, was declared dead at the scene, Garcia reported.

The 28-year-old, who was riding in the right rear of the Tahoe, was transported by CalStar air ambulance to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, where Garcia said the man died.

Waters was transported to St. Helena Hospital Clearlake for treatment of minor injuries, according to the report.

The CHP said that Waters was not wearing his seatbelt, but both of his passengers were belted.

Garcia said alcohol was not a factor in the crash.
