LUCERNE, Calif. – A Thursday vehicle rollover that ended up with a car on the lakeshore resulted in no injuries, according to initial information provided by the California Highway Patrol and witnesses.
The single-vehicle incident occurred shortly before 4:30 p.m. on Highway 20 at Bel Ray Avenue in Lucerne, according to the CHP.
The vehicle, heading eastbound, went off the road, rolled over and came to rest on its wheels on the lake’s edge, about 30 feet off the roadway, according to the CHP and witness reports.
A young man was driving the vehicle with an older man sleeping in the passenger seat when the vehicle went off the road. A witness reported that the driver said he was blinded by the sun, which led to him going off the road.
The car’s two occupants were able to get out of the car and reported they were OK, according to reports from the scene.
The men were seen by medical personnel; the CHP’s preliminary report indicated they were not injured.
A tow truck was called to the scene, as reports indicated the vehicle would need to be pulled up over boulders in order to get it off the shoreline.

KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – A Kelseyville man is in custody after he assaulted a detective who was attempting to conduct a parole compliance check.
Steven Greg Humphries, 34, was arrested on Thursday, Nov. 29, according to a report from Michelle Gonzalez of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
On Nov. 29 at approximately 4:28 p.m., members of the Lake County Sheriff’s Narcotics Task Force spotted Humphries walking eastbound across the Main Street Bridge in Kelseyville. Gonzalez reported that Humphries was known by Task Force detectives to be on active state parole.
When one of the task force members approached Humphries and asked him if he was on parole, Humphries attempted to throw a small backpack he was carrying over the edge of the bridge, Gonzalez reported.
She said Humphries was taken to the ground by the detectives, but continued to violently resist their actions. A passing motorist quickly came to the aid of the detectives and assisted in subduing Humphries.
Once handcuffs and leg restraints were placed on the Humphries, medics responded to medically clear him. Gonzalez said he refused medical treatment.
During a search of the backpack Narcotics Detectives located a glass pipe with a white residue, 11 small baggies with a clear crystalline substance, which tested presumptive positive for methamphetamine, weighing a total of one ounce; a digital scale, packaging materials and marijuana.
Humphries was transported to the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility where he was booked for possession of a controlled substance for sale, possession of controlled substance paraphernalia, violation of his parole, and battery on a peace officer, Gonzalez said.
On Wednesday Humphries remained in custody without bail due to a parole hold. Neither Humphries or the sheriff’s detectives were seriously injured during the altercation, according to Gonzalez.
Anyone with information that can assist the Sheriff’s Narcotics Task Force in eradicating narcotics is encouraged to call the anonymous tip line at 707-263-3663.
