LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — One person was reported to have been killed in a solo-vehicle crash on Saturday afternoon in a remote part of Lake County.

The wreck, involving a Ford Raptor pickup, occurred shortly before 3:15 p.m. Saturday on Bartlett Springs Road above Lucerne.

The initial dispatch stated there was one subject trapped in a tree and another was with the vehicle about 10 feet over the embankment.

The California Highway Patrol’s online incident reports stated that the pickup was wrapped around a tree.

In addition to Northshore Fire, units from Williams Fire and Cal Fire responded. Cal Fire sent its helicopter from the Boggs Helitack to assist with the rescue, and the California Highway Patrol’s copter also was requested but later canceled.

Shortly before 4 p.m., units on scene stated over the air that there was a fatality.

The CHP left the scene around 7:30 p.m., but other units stayed on scene until the early morning hours on Sunday waiting for a tow truck to remove the pickup.

Another serious solo-vehicle crash occurred on Bartlett Springs Road east of Walker Ridge Road just before 9:30 p.m., according to the CHP and radio traffic.

That rollover crash was reported to have involved four individuals, with one being unconscious.

The injured individual was set to be flown by air ambulance to a regional trauma center.
