How to resolve AdBlock issue? LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — A solo-vehicle wreck in south Lake County on Sunday evening became the second to claim a life over the weekend.
The crash in the 19000 block of Big Canyon Road at Harbin Springs Road near Middletown was first reported just before 7 p.m. Sunday, according to radio and California Highway Patrol online reports.
The first fire units on scene found a red pickup on its side, blocking all of Big Canyon Road.
A firefighter arriving at the scene asked Cal Fire dispatch to send an air ambulance, as one person was trapped under the bed of the truck and a second person was sitting outside of the vehicle.
Shortly after 7:15 p.m., units at the scene confirmed that one person had died and a coroner was dispatched.
Later on Sunday, the CHP reported that the vehicle had been towed and booked into evidence.
The CHP’s online reports said the driver had suffered minor injuries, including lacerations to their face and back.
The Sunday night crash followed a solo-vehicle crash — also involving a pickup — on Saturday afternoon on Bartlett Springs Road that killed one person.
On Saturday night there also was another solo-vehicle crash on Bartlett Springs Road east of Walker Ridge Road that resulted in one person being flown by air ambulance to a regional trauma center.
