NORTH COAST, Calif. – A Lucerne man sustained major injuries in a two-vehicle collision in Fortuna on Monday night.
Elbert Coulter, 87, was injured in the crash, according to a report from Officer Cy May of the California Highway Patrol Humboldt Area office.
May said that the crash occurred shortly after 8:30 p.m. Monday on southbound Highway 101, south of Highway 36.
For reasons still to be determined, Coulter – driving a 2002 Buick LeSabre – was traveling northbound in the southbound lanes when his vehicle sideswiped a 2010 Kia Soul driven by 19-year-old Brittney Fisher of Fortuna, May said.
May said Coulter's Buick continued northbound in the southbound lanes and hit a concrete wall in the center divider.
Coulter was transported by ambulance to Redwood Memorial Hospital in Fortuna for treatment of his injuries, according to May.
Alcohol is not suspected to have been a factor in this collision, May said.
