LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — A Kelseyville man who authorities said was driving under the influence of alcohol has been arrested following a crash in which his passenger was killed early Sunday morning.
The California Highway Patrol’s Clear Lake Area office said its officers placed Adryan J. Segura, 27, under arrest after the wreck.
Segura’s passenger who died was identified as 28-year-old Amy Maurie Walker-Allen, said Lauren Berlinn of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
The CHP’s report on the crash said Segura was driving his 2017 Honda northbound on Westlake Road from the Nice-Lucerne Cutoff at 12:50 a.m. on Sunday.
Based on the investigation so far, the CHP said that as Segura was driving, he made an unsafe turn which caused his vehicle to go off the road and down a grassy embankment.
The Honda hit a driveway and wire fence at the bottom of the embankment, the CHP said.
Walker-Allen, who was riding in the front passenger seat and wearing a seat belt, died of her injuries at the scene, the CHP said.
Segura, who also was wearing his seat belt, suffered major injuries, according to the CHP report.
After a DUI investigation, the CHP said Segura was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol before being transported to the hospital for treatment.
Radio reports indicated he was transported to Sutter Lakeside Hospital’s landing zone and then taken by air ambulance to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital.
Editor’s note: The CHP issued a corrected report after the initial publication of this article stating that Walker-Allen was, in fact, wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. This article has been updated with that new information.
