LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – On Tuesday the California Highway Patrol identified the young Kelseyville man who died last week as the result of injuries he suffered in a single-vehicle crash on the Nice-Lucerne Cutoff.
Officer Joe Wind of the CHP’s Clear Lake Area office said 21-year-old Matthew Dupler was the victim of the crash, which occurred late on the night of Nov. 8 near the Rodman Slough, as Lake County News has reported.
At 10:20 p.m. that night Dupler’s 2000 Hyundai Elantra went off the road and hit a tree, the CHP said.
Dupler was transported to Sutter Lakeside Hospital, where the CHP said he later died of his injuries.
He was wearing his seat belt at the time of the crash, and based on the investigation the CHP said alcohol did not appear to be a factor.
