CLEARLAKE OAKS, Calif. – An Upper Lake woman was injured early Sunday morning when she crashed into two parked Clearlake Oaks water district trucks.
Maria Vega Figueroa, 30, suffered moderate injuries in the crash, which occurred at 3:36 a.m. Sunday, according to the California Highway Patrol's Clear Lake Area office.
The CHP said Figueroa was driving a 1999 Chevy Silverado pickup eastbound on Highway 20, approaching Island Drive in Clearlake Oaks, when she failed to negotiate a lefthand curve in the roadway.
Figueroa traveled off the right side of the road, crashed through a fence at the Clearlake Oaks County Water District yard and hit two water district trucks that were parked there, the CHP said.
Figueroa was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and then flown via REACH air ambulance to UC Davis Medical Center, where she was released for treatment of moderate injuries, according to the CHP.
