KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – A Kelseyville man died in a Saturday night collision on Highway 29.
The name of the 78-year-old man who died had not been released as of Monday pending notification of his next of kin, according to the California Highway Patrol’s Clear Lake Area office.
The crash occurred at approximately 5:44 p.m. Saturday on Highway 29 north of Main Street, the CHP said.
The CHP said 48-year-old April Flores of Lakeport was driving her white 2005 Infiniti G37 southbound on Highway 29, north of Main Street, at 55 miles per hour.
The male driver was driving his black 1998 Toyota Tacoma pickup and was stopped at the stop sign on Main Street, preparing to turn southbound onto Highway, the CHP said.
For reasons still under investigation, the CHP said the man turned left onto Highway 29, directly into Flores’ path.
The CHP said the left front corner of the Infiniti hit the right rear corner of the Toyota, causing the Toyota to spin in a clockwise manner.
The Toyota travelled off of the west shoulder where it overturned, partially ejecting the male driver, the CHP said.
The CHP report said the male driver was not wearing his seat belt, while Flores was wearing hers.
After the collision, Flores remained on scene for emergency personnel, the CHP said. She was not injured.
The CHP said the male driver was pronounced deceased at the collision scene by medical personnel.
Neither drugs nor alcohol are suspected of being factors in this collision, the CHP said.
