LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — A solo-vehicle wreck on Highway 20 on Monday claimed the life of a Clearlake Oaks man.
Lloyd Kendall Minor, 67, died in the crash, according to Lt. Corey Paulich of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
The California Highway Patrol’s Clear Lake Area office said the wreck occurred at 4:54 p.m. Monday.
Minor was driving a silver 2011 Mini Cooper westbound on Highway 20, west of Ravens Landing and east of Clearlake Oaks, when the car ran off the road, the CHP said.
The CHP said the Mini Cooper came to rest in a drainage ditch to the south of the roadway with minor collision damage. No lanes were blocked during the incident.
CHP Officer Brooks Faraco arrived on scene and began CPR on Minor, and fire personnel arrived and took over medical treatment to no avail, the CHP said.
Radio reports indicated that Minor was declared dead at the scene less than an hour after the crash occurred.
Evidence located at the scene indicates a possible medical condition contributed to the cause of this crash, the CHP said.
Minor was wearing his seat belt, the CHP’s report noted.
The CHP said Officer Faraco is continuing to investigate the crash.
