On June 5, 2024, at approximately 1615 hours, officers from the California Highway Patrol,  Clear Lake Area, responded to reports of a solo vehicle traffic collision involving a white  2003 Toyota Tacoma. A preliminary investigation indicated the Toyota was traveling on  State Route 29 northbound, north of 11th Street, in the #1 lane at 65 miles per hour.  For reasons pending further investigation, the Toyota suddenly veered in a northwesterly direction, crossing the center median and State Route 29 southbound. It collided through a barbed wire fence on the west side of the freeway, across Mountainview Road, and over the descending embankment west of Mountainview Road. The front of the Toyota collided into a tree on the embankment and came to rest. 

The 75-year-old female driver, whose identity is being withheld pending notification of next-of-kin, was transported by ambulance to the hospital where she was pronounced deceased. 

Lake County Sheriff’s Department, Lakeport Police Department, Lakeport Fire Department and Jones Towing responded to the scene and assisted the California Highway Patrol. 

Alcohol and/or drug use is not suspected to be a factor in this collision. The cause of this collision is still under investigation by Officer V. Farias-Diaz.
