KELSEYVILLE – The California Highway Patrol is investigating an early morning crash on Tuesday in which a car slammed into a laundromat.
A report from Officer Adam Garcia of the Clear Lake area CHP office said that at 4:35 a.m. Tuesday a 17-year-old female was driving a 2005 Ford car westbound on Gunn Street in Kelseyville at a high rate of speed.
Gunn said the girl lost control of the car and collided with a wooden fence on Gunn near Saderlund Street.
Garcia said the car then turned back across Gunn Street, traveled off the south road edge and collided with the Launderland Laundromat before coming to rest inside the building.
The collision caused major damage to the structure of the laundromat and total damage to her vehicle, according to Garcia.
The teen is believed to have been under the influence of alcohol at the time of the collision, said Garcia. She was subsequently arrested for suspicion of DUI.
The investigation into the collision is continuing, Garcia reported, led by CHP Officer Steven Curtis.
