LAKEPORT, Calif. – Three women sustained major injuries in a Thursday afternoon crash on Highway 175 near Lakeport.
The California Highway Patrol’s Clear Lake Area office said the two-car wreck occurred at 3:42 p.m. Thursday.
Faith E. Eyler, 20, was driving a 1997 Honda Civic westbound on Highway 175 west of Matthews Road, with Deanna M. Lambert, 20, of Clearlake in the front right passenger seat, the CHP said.
Michelle A. Baldwin, 59, was traveling eastbound on Highway 175, driving a 2006 BMW X5, according to the CHP report.
The CHP said Eyler allowed her vehicle to travel off the north road edge of the highway. She overcorrected her steering and crossed over the solid double yellow lines as she lost control of her vehicle.
Eyler's vehicle traveled into oncoming traffic, with her Honda colliding head-on with Baldwin’s BMW, the CHP said.
Following the collision, the CHP said all three women were transported via ambulance to Sutter Lakeside Hospital in Lakeport for treatment of major injuries.
The CHP said neither drugs nor alcohol were suspected as factors in this collision.
All three women were wearing seat belts, the CHP said.
