LAKEPORT, Calif. – The California Highway Patrol is investigating a crash last week involving a bicycle that left a Kelseyville man injured.

The CHP said Daniel Walter Dever, 54, was injured in the wreck, which occurred at around noon on Monday, Nov. 5.

Dever was riding his 15-speed bicycle northbound on E. Highland Springs Road south of Highland Springs Road when he went off the roadway and hit a barbed wire fence, the CHP said.

As a result of the crash, Dever – who wasn’t using safety equipment – sustained major injuries and was flown to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, according to the CHP.

The CHP said that, as of Wednesday, no witnesses to the crash have come forward.

If anyone has information regarding Dever’s crash or was a witness to it, they’re asked to contact the Clear Lake Area CHP office at 707-279-0103.
