KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – A three-vehicle crash on Monday evening left two people injured, one of them seriously.
The crash on Highway 29 at Merritt Road in Kelseyville took place shortly before 7 p.m. Monday, according to the California Highway Patrol’s Clear Lake Area office.
CHP Officer Joel Skeen said Richard Hessing of Kelseyville was driving a 2005 Hyundai southbound on Highway 29 at a speed that was unsafe for conditions, which included hail on the roadway.
Tea Muller of Cloverdale was driving a 2014 Hyundai northbound on Highway 29 as was Lorelei Morris of Bolinas, who was in a 2017 Toyota, Skeen said.
Skeen said it appeared that Hessing lost control and went into the path of the other two vehicles.
Hessing had major injuries, Morris had minor injuries and Muller was not injured, Skeen said.
Skeen said both Hessing and Morris were transported to Sutter Lakeside Hospital for treatment.
He said there was no suspicion of alcohol having been a factor in the wreck.
Reports from the scene said Highway 29 was completely blocked for about an hour while first responders transported the patients and the roadway was cleared by Caltrans and tow truck drivers.
