How to resolve AdBlock issue? LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Several crashes were reported along the Northshore on Tuesday as the season’s rainy conditions continued.
The California Highway Patrol reported that the wrecks happened along Highway 20 throughout the afternoon and into the evening.
A solo pickup rollover was reported just after 4 p.m. near Paradise Cove. The CHP said minor injuries resulted.
Another minor injury crash occurred less than an hour later, just before 5 p.m.,when two vehicles crashed on Highway 20 at Verna Way near Glenhaven, the CHP said.
Kelseyville resident Tera Means was driving toward Glenhaven when she came upon the crash, which she said involved a blue Scion and a white Chevy.
Means said the driver of the Scion stated that he had lost control and hit the other vehicle.
She said two elderly men in the Chevy were uninjured and the son of the man driving the Scion had some minor injuries, mostly scratches from the seat belt. Means, who has first aid training, didn’t see any other injuries.
The greatest danger at the time, she said, was that the two vehicles were blocking the highway. She told the crash victims they needed to get out of the road for their safety.
“As I said that, cars were screeching to a halt,” as they came around the bend, she said.
The CHP said a noninjury crash also occurred on Highway 20 near Walker Ridge Road shortly after 7:30 p.m. Details about that crash were not immediately available.
Due to the wet weather, there were CHP reports of rock and mudslides on Highway 175 and a tree down blocking the road at Crystal Lake Way in Lakeport.
A major injury crash that occurred at around 2 p.m. at the intersection of Highway 20 and Highway 53 sent three to the hospital, as Lake County News has reported.
Based on the CHP report on that wreck, the cause appeared to be based on one driver’s failure to stop rather than weather conditions.
