CLEARLAKE, Calif. – One person was injured early Tuesday morning when a vehicle crashed into a Clearlake home.
Just after 2 a.m. Tuesday firefighters were dispatched to two calls one right after another – the first, in which a two-vehicle crash was reported and the second involving a vehicle into a house, according to radio traffic.
Firefighters arriving at the scene reported that the two incidents were one and the same.
Clearlake Police Sgt. Tim Hobbs said a white 1993 BMW M3 that was driving south on Old Highway 53 crashed into the residence at the southwest corner of the intersection of Ridgeview Drive and Old Highway 53.
Hobbs said the driver fled the scene.
He said one occupant of the house was transported to the hospital for a complaint of pain.
On social media Clearlake resident Matt Nelson said the damaged home was his, and the person injured was his mother-in-law. He said she was released from the hospital on Tuesday morning.
The vehicle that hit his house also hit a van he had parked near the home. Nelson said a vehicle involved in a pursuit with law enforcement crashed into his garage in May.
Nelson's online posts blamed the nearby roadway design and conditions for the crash.
