GLENHAVEN, Calif. – The California Highway Patrol said a crash that occurred earlier this month involving a car and a semi sent four people – three of them children – to area hospitals.
The report, issued on Monday, explained the circumstances of a crash that occurred on Saturday, June 8, on Highway 20 near Glenhaven.
The vehicles involved were a 1995 Saab driven by 25-year-old Emmie Dewan Jett of Clearlake and a Walmart semi truck and trailer, the CHP said.
Jett was traveling in an easterly direction following the semi truck at approximately 45 miles per hour at about 12:30 p.m., according to the report.
Riding in the car with Jett were four male juveniles, three of whom were not restrained in the vehicle, the CHP said.
For an unknown reason, the front of Jett's Saab hit the rear of the semi, causing him to lose control, according to the report.
The CHP said the Saab went across the highway's westbound lane and overturned, coming to rest on its roof in the westbound lane, west of Olsen Road.
Two of the juveniles were flown by air ambulance to UC Davis Medical Center with major injuries, the CHP said, while Jett and one of the juveniles were taken to St. Helena Hospital Clear Lake for treatment of minor injuries. The fourth juvenile was uninjured.
In its report the CHP said the full names and ages of the juveniles currently were unknown.
