MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – A motorcyclist who was injured in a Sunday crash was arrested for driving under the influence.

Allen Lenart, 47, of Santa Rosa was arrested by the California Highway Patrol following a crash Sunday evening, according to CHP Officer Mark Crutcher.

Lenart was traveling northbound on Highway 29 at the Coyote Grade on a Harley Davidson motorcycle at around 5:30 p.m. Sunday when he failed to negotiate a righthand curve, Crutcher said.

Crutcher said Lenart went off the road and hit a guard rail.

Lenart was ejected from the motorcycle and he went down a dirt embankment, where he sustained a broken right ankle and a broken right arm, according to Crutcher.

An off-duty Hidden Valley Lake security guard came upon the scene, Crutcher said, finding the bike in the roadway and then looking for, and finding, Lenart.

At the scene Lenart was placed under arrest for DUI, Crutcher said. REACH then flew Lenart out to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital for treatment.

A review of Lake County Jail records indicate the CHP made two other DUI arrests during its maximum enforcement period, which ran from 6 p.m. Nov. 24 until just before midnight Nov. 28.
