LUCERNE, Calif. – A woman whose vehicle rolled over on Highway 20 Wednesday was arrested on charges of driving under the influence.


The crash occurred at about 6:45 p.m. on Highway 20 just west of Foothill Drive in Lucerne, according to initial reports from the California Highway Patrol.


The woman, whose name was not immediately available, was driving a newer model pickup when she was involved in a single-vehicle crash that rolled the pickup over, according to Northshore Fire Battalion Chief Steve Hart, who was pulled from a rescue on the hills above Lucerne to respond to the crash.


Hart said the woman was uninjured.


She was accompanied by three dogs, who also appeared uninjured and were removed from the scene by Lake County Animal Care and Control, Hart said.


Hart said the roadway was blocked for about 10 minutes. CHP and Lake County Sheriff's officials responded to the scene along with Northshore Fire, which sent a total of four units.


The woman was determined to have been driving under the influence of prescription drugs, according to reports from the scene. The CHP arrested her after she failed a sobriety test.


CHP reported the roadway was cleared just before 8 p.m.
