LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Sheriff’s Office has identified a woman who was struck and killed by a vehicle along Highway 29 near Middletown last week.

Susan Alice Johnson-Cline, 57, died at the scene of the crash, which occurred shortly after 6:15 p.m. Friday on southbound Highway 29, south of Central Park Road, as Lake County News has reported.

The California Highway Patrol’s Clear Lake Area office originally gave Johnson-Cline’s city of residence as Clearlake.

However, Lauren Berlinn, spokesperson for the sheriff’s office, said Johnson-Cline’s residence was in Lower Lake.

The CHP’s initial report said Johnson-Cline was walking along the highway in wet, rainy conditions.

It’s so far not known what led to her being struck by a 2020 Tesla Model S in the northbound lane of Highway 29.

However, the report said that alcohol may have been a factor on Johnson-Cline’s part.

Johnson-Cline died of her injuries at Adventist Health Clear Lake Hospital, the CHP said.
