UPPER LAKE, Calif. – One person was seriously injured in a Sunday afternoon crash on Highway 20 in the Blue Lakes area.
The three-vehicle wreck was first reported shortly before 4:15 p.m. in front of Blue Lakes Lodge, according to radio reports.
Northshore Fire and Lakeport Fire sent units to the wreck, where two of the vehicles were found to be blocking the westbound lane, scanner reports indicated.
The reports indicated that two of the vehicles involved were a Ram pickup and a Toyota pickup. Dispatch said the Toyota had been reported before the crash as possibly involving a drunk driver.
Incident command requested an air ambulance respond to fly out a critically injured driver, but the air ambulance would not fly due to the rainy weather conditions, based on radio reports.
In addition to the one person with major injuries, there were four other vehicle occupants involved who were not injured, according to incident command.
Scanner traffic indicated the injured driver was transported by ambulance to a local hospital.
Radio reports said that Caltrans responded to the scene to assist with traffic control, with a tow company responding to remove all vehicles.
