Local woman injured in crash near Ukiah

THIS STORY HAS BEEN UPDATED.


UKIAH – A Lake County woman sustained major injuries in a vehicle collision over the weekend.


Lenore Garcia, 56, of Lakeport was involved in the crash, which took place just after 1 p.m. near Ukiah on Highway 20 under the Highway 101 overpass, said California Highway Patrol Sgt. David Tafel.


Tafel said Garcia's vehicle rolled over.


Garcia sustained major injuries to her head, back, right femur and pelvis, said Tafel.


He added that Garcia may be at fault in the crash for an unsafe turning movement, but the crash is still being investigated so a formal finding hasn't been made.


REACH air ambulance transported Garcia to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, Tafel said.


Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital spokesperson Katy Hillenmeyer reported that Garcia is in serious condition.
