HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE, Calif. – Two people were injured in a golf cart crash in Hidden Valley Lake on Saturday night, with one of the victims flown out to a regional trauma center for treatment.
The crash was first reported just after 8:45 p.m. on Powder Horn Road, according to radio reports.
Cal Fire Battalion Chief Greg Bertelli said Cal Fire and South Lake County Fire units responded to the scene.
He said the golf cart rolled over as it was descending a hill.
He said a male subject with head, back and neck pain, and substantial pain in his pelvis was flown by REACH 6 air ambulance to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital.
Radio reports indicated the helicopter set down in the area of Highway 29 and Spruce Grove Road Extension.
The other person injured in the crash was transported by ground ambulance to St. Helena Hospital Clear Lake. Bertelli did not have additional details about that person, including gender and extent of injuries.
On Sunday, Lake County News was contacted by Hidden Valley Lake resident Nick Jackson who said his 16- and 13-year-old sons had been the ones in the cart.
His older son, John, was flown to Santa Rosa and has a broken collarbone from being ejected. The younger son, Angelo, received staples in his head due to an injury from being dragged inside the cart.
Jackson said the boys were coming down a hill and the brakes locked on them, causing the golf cart to turn on its side and it slid down a few feet.
He said Sunday afternoon that both boys were home.
It was the third air ambulance transfer out of county in the past two days resulting from a vehicle wreck.
On Friday shortly after 5:30 p.m., a car crashed into a tree on Highland Springs Road near Lakeport.
Radio reports indicated that two people were transported to a local hospital by ground ambulance, while a third was taken by CalStar 4 to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital. The California Highway Patrol has so far not issued a report on the wreck.
Then, just before 6 p.m. Friday, a man was injured when he crashed his motorcycle at Third and Church streets in Kelseyville, as Lake County News has reported.
The CHP said the man, a Kelseyville resident whose name has not yet been released, suffered major injuries and was flown to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital.
Correction: The original report stated that the male subject who was injured was 60 years old. However, the father of the two subjects involved said his son was 16.
