CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A woman was hit by a vehicle in Clearlake Monday morning and flown to a regional trauma center, while the driver was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of a controlled substance.

Kelli Nolan, 48, was injured in the incident, which occurred in the 15000 block of Lakeshore Drive, according to Sgt. Dominic Ramirez.

He said Nolan was flown to U.C. Davis Medical Center for further treatment. Nolan is reported to be in stable condition.

Ramirez said that at approximately 8:39 a.m. Clearlake Police officers were dispatched on a report of a vehicle versus pedestrian traffic collision.

Witnesses at the scene placed Nolan in the crosswalk, walking north across Lakeshore Drive when she was struck by a 1999 Honda traveling eastbound on Lakeshore Drive, Ramirez said.

Ramirez said the Honda was driven by 18-year-old Clearlake resident Calvin Barnett.

Officer Paulsen, who has been assigned as the investigator of this traffic collision, subsequently arrested Barnett for driving while under the influence of a controlled substance believed to be marijuana, Ramirez said.

The collision is still under investigation and anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to call Officer Paulsen at the Clearlake Police Department, 707-994-8251.
