How to resolve AdBlock issue? LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A Northshore bicyclist was injured on Saturday night when he was involved in a crash with a vehicle.
The crash happened at around 9:15 p.m. Saturday on the Nice-Lucerne Cutoff just west of Stokes Avenue, according to the California Highway Patrol.
California Highway Patrol Officer Kory Reynolds said William Guttormsen of Nice, whose age was not available, sustained major injuries.
The driver of the vehicle was Nacy Douglas, 65, of Kelseyville, Reynolds said.
Reports from the scene on Saturday night indicated that Guttormsen had hit Douglas' windshield.
Reynolds confirmed that Guttormsen's bike had damage on the rear and Douglas' vehicle had windshield damage.
He did not have details about what led to the crash, but said the report available to him did not indicate Douglas was at fault.
Guttormsen had complaints of pain to his lower right leg, back and neck, Reynolds said.
Reports from the scene on Saturday indicated that REACH 6 responded to pick Guttormsen up for transport to an out-of-county trauma center, but the helicopter had mechanical issues and had to stay on the ground at the Sentry Market landing zone.
Instead, Guttormsen was transported by Northshore Fire ambulance to the Sutter Lakeside Hospital helipad, where REACH 1 picked him up and flew him to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, according to radio traffic.
