Michael Wright, 50, of Hidden Valley Lake; Steven Beyer, 53, of Clearlake and his wife, 54-year-old Lezley Beyer, were all flown by air ambulances to out-of-county trauma centers following the crash, which occurred just before 8 p.m. Saturday on Highway 29 just south of Spruce Grove Road North.
Wright’s girlfriend Kari Marks, 53, and her 24-year-old daughter Jena Marks, both of Hidden Valley Lake, and Jena Marks’ boyfriend, Santa Rosan Patrick Campbell, 27, all died at the scene, as Lake County News has reported.
Wright was driving a 2001 BMW 740 northbound when his vehicle slid sideways into the path of Steven Beyer’s Ford SUV, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Wright and the Beyers all were initially flown to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital with major injuries, the CHP said.
The initial CHP report said Wright had pelvic and chest trauma, Steven Beyer had fractures and contusions, and Lezley Beyer had head trauma and fractures.
On Monday, Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital spokesperson Katy Hillenmeyer said Wright was in critical condition and Steven Beyer was in serious condition.
Lezley Beyer had been transferred to another facility, and Hillenmeyer was unable to offer further information due to privacy laws.
Lake County News was able to confirm with UC Davis Medical Center that Lezley Beyer was in that hospital’s care on Monday, and that she was in critical condition.
