On February 14, 2024, at 2012 hours, California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers assigned to the Clear Lake Area office responded to a hit and run traffic collision involving a vehicle versus pedestrian.  The collision occurred on State Route 20, just east of Bridge Arbor Drive, in an unincorporated area of Lake County (Upper Lake). A preliminary investigation indicated a blue SUV (Vehicle #1) struck the pedestrian (Party #2) who was walking south and was within the eastbound lanes of SR-20. Vehicle #1 fled the scene on eastbound State Route 20. Party #2 would be transported to Sutter Lakeside Hospital in Lakeport with major injuries. Initial investigation efforts led officers to an address associated with Vehicle #1, but no vehicle was located at that time.

On February 15, 2024, at 1725 hours, Ukiah Communications Center (UCC) received a phone call from Party #1 (Oscar Rosas) relating he wanted to turn himself in to law enforcement and his blue Ford Escape was involved in the collision. CHP officers responded to Party #1’s address in Clearlake where Vehicle #1 was located with damage consistent with the hit and run traffic collision. Party #1 would subsequently be arrested for felony hit and run at 1832 hours where he was transported and booked into Lake County Jail.
