LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A Clearlake Oaks man injured in a collision in late November has died of his injuries.
Robert Roberts, 80, of Clearlake Oaks died on Dec. 14 of injuries he sustained in a crash on Nov. 20, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Kory Reynolds.
Roberts had been involved in a head-on crash at the intersection of Highway 20 and Highway 53, known as the “Y,” according to the CHP.
Roberts was driving a 2002 Chevrolet S-10 pickup with 64-year-old Mary Roberts, also of Clearlake Oaks, as his passenger when they were hit head-on by a 2002 Oldsmobile Alero driven eastbound by Leslie Uboldi Jr., 52, of Eureka, the CHP reported.
Uboldi had failed to stop for the intersection's stop sign and hit Roberts' pickup while traveling at about 60 miles per hour, according to the CHP report. The force of the crash ejected Mary Roberts, who was not wearing a seat belt, from Roberts' pickup.
Originally, Roberts had been taken to St. Helena Hospital Clear Lake for treatment of major injuries, the CHP said.
Reynolds said Roberts had later been taken to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital and then, on Dec. 6, was transferred to a Cloverdale health care facility, where he died.
Reynolds did not have information on whether charges might be brought in the case.
