LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A Ukiah man died early Sunday in a solo vehicle crash near Lakeport.
Lt. Corey Paulich of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office identified the man who died as Quinn Williams, 22.
The California Highway Patrol’s Clear Lake Area office said in a Monday report that at 12:05 a.m. Sunday Williams was driving his black 2014 Jeep Cherokee southbound on Highway 29 north of 11th St. in Lakeport at an unknown speed.
Williams’ Jeep veered left into the dirt center median, then veered back to the right, crossing the southbound lanes of Highway 29, the CHP said.
The CHP said the Jeep continued to the right, traveling onto the dirt shoulder where it hit a tree. It then hit a fence before overturning and coming to rest on Mountview Road.
Firefighters responding to the scene early Sunday found the Jeep in the 1500 block of Mountview Road, near the intersection with Scotts Valley Road, according to reports from the scene. The crash had been reported by someone who heard it.
Williams was ejected from the Jeep and succumbed to his injuries at the scene, the CHP said.
An inspection of the Jeep revealed that Williams’ seatbelt was not worn during the collision, according to the CHP report.
It is unknown if drugs or alcohol contributed to this collision, the CHP said.
