KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – A Kelseyville man had to be flown to a regional trauma center on Sunday after his vehicle went off the road and hit a tree.
Jesus Alvarez Jr., 28, was involved in the solo-vehicle crash, which occurred shortly before 7:30 p.m. in the 9000 block of Kelsey Creek Drive, according to reports from the scene.
California Highway Patrol Sgt. Rick Okazaki said Alvarez was driving a 2000 BMW northbound on Kelsey Creek Drive at a high rate of speed when he went through a curve and then traveled off the road, hitting a tree.
Alcohol was a factor in the crash, Okazaki said.
Alvarez suffered a possible fractured hip, a dislocated or fractured left wrist and left arm, facial injuries, multiple lacerations and possible internal injuries, Okazaki said.
REACH air ambulance flew Alvarez out of county. Okazaki said he was being treated for his injuries at Queen of the Valley Medical Center in Napa.
Okazaki said CHP Officer Erica Coddington is continuing the investigation into the crash.
