CHP reports on Friday night HVL crash that injured three

HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE – The California Highway Patrol said Monday that a Friday night collision in Hidden Valley injured three women, one of whom was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.

 

The report, from CHP Officer Dan Frederick, said the crash occurred shortly before 9:30 p.m. on Northshore Drive at Northshore Court.

 

Arrested at the scene for DUI was 48-year-old Deborah Selna of Hidden Valley Lake, Frederick reported.

 

Selna was driving a red 2000 Yamaha golf cart with two fellow Hidden Valley residents – Elizabeth Sayers, 51, and Carrie Weston, 50 – riding with her, according to the report.

 

The three women were allegedly very intoxicated. Frederick said Selna was driving southbound on Northshore Drive at an unsafe speed when she lost control of the golf cart, which went off the roadway.

 

He said Selna was unable to slow or stop the golf cart as it went onto the grassy area adjacent to the roadway.

 

The golf cart collided with a tree, then rolled over and came to rest upside down against another tree, Frederick said.

 

He said all three women were transported to the hospital. Reports from the scene indicated two of them were flown out by helicopter.

 

Both Selna and Weston suffered major injuries – Selna having broken ribs and Weston a spinal injury and internal bleeding in her head, Frederick said. Sayer suffered moderate injuries from the impact.
