Two injured in Tuesday rollover crash
The CHP’s Clear Lake Area office issued a Wednesday report on the crash, which occurred at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at Highway 29 and Bell Hill Road.
The report said the crash involved a 2016 Ford Explorer driven by 35-year-old Denice Guistolise of Kelseyville, who had two female juveniles from Kelseyville in the vehicle with her, and Debora Lynn Larson, 58, of Santa Rosa, who had a male juvenile from Clearlake riding as her passenger in her 2000 Mercury Mountaineer.
The CHP said Guistolise was driving her Ford eastbound on Bell Hill Road and stopped at the intersection on the west side of Highway 29.
Larson was driving southbound on Highway 29, north of the intersection of Bell Hill Road, at an unknown speed, the CHP said.
Guistolise proceeded into the intersection, directly into Larson’s path of travel, resulting in a broadside collision, the report explained.
The impact of the initial collision caused Larson’s vehicle to veer off the right side of the roadway where it then rolled multiple times and landed upside down on the west shoulder of Highway 29, the CHP said.
The CHP said Larson had to be extricated by emergency personnel and was transported by REACH air ambulance to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital for moderate injuries sustained as a result of the collision.
The male juvenile passenger in Larson’s vehicle was also transported by REACH to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital for moderate injuries, the CHP said.
Guistolise and her two passengers were uninjured, according to the report.
The CHP said seat belts were worn by all occupants in both vehicles.
Based on the investigation so far, the CHP said it appears that neither alcohol nor drugs were factors in the cause of the collision.
The cause of the collision is still under investigation, the CHP said.
