LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A Vallejo man was arrested for driving under the influence after a single-vehicle crash on Thursday evening.
David Mills, 58, suffered minor injuries in the crash, which occurred at 6:30 p.m. on Highway 20 east of Cache Creek, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Kory Reynolds.
Mills was driving his 1992 Ford F-150 pickup westbound on Highway 20 at an unknown speed when, for unknown reasons, he allowed his truck to drift off the north shoulder, Reynolds said.
Mills overcorrected, traveled across Highway 20 and exited the south shoulder. Reynolds said the truck traveled down a steep embankment and overturned, coming to rest on its roof on some large boulders.
Northshore Fire and Cal Fire firefighters extricated Mills from his truck, and REACH air ambulance flew him to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, where he was treated for his injuries, as Lake County News has reported.
Reynolds said Mills was arrested later for driving under the influence.
