LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Three children were seriously injured late last week when they were involved in a golf cart crash.
The California Highway Patrol’s Clear Lake Area office said the crash occurred just before 7 p.m. Thursday, July 17.
That evening, the CHP said its officers received a call about a solo vehicle rollover involving a golf cart and three juveniles on Nicholas Way west of Francis Lane, near Hidden Valley Lake.
The CHP said its investigation determined an 11-year-old girl was driving the Club Car DS electric golf cart with two passengers, a 10-year-old girl and a 6-year-old girl.
As the golf cart continued west on Nicholas Way, the driver lost control and the golf cart overturned, ejecting all three occupants, the CHP said.
All three children were transported to Adventist Health Clear Lake and transferred to UC Davis for continued treatment of injuries sustained in the crash, according to the CHP report.
The CHP said the cause of the crash is under investigation. Officer Luis Estrada is the investigating officer.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Clear Lake Area CHP office at 707-281-5200.
