LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The name of a Kelseyville man who died in a solo vehicle crash last week has been released.

Charles Kluge, 92, was the victim of the wreck, according to Misty Wood, spokesperson for the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office.

Kluge was driving alone in his 2006 Acura on private property in the area of Adobe Creek and Bell Hill roads near Kelseyville just after 11:30 a.m. Thursday when the crash occurred, according to the California Highway Patrol’s Clear Lake Area office.

The CHP said Kluge’s vehicle traveled through two wire fences, crossing Adobe Creek Road before it hit an upward sloping embankment.

Kluge, who was not wearing a seat belt, was taken by REACH air ambulance to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, where the CHP said he died of his injuries.

The CHP, which said alcohol was not suspected to be a factor in the crash, is continuing the investigation into the wreck, according to Officer Joel Skeen.

Skeen said that they are awaiting autopsy results to see if medical issues contributed to the crash, “but everything else is pretty clear.”
