NICE, Calif. – Friday's rainy conditions and a possible case of driving under the influence of alcohol are believed to have contributed to a single-vehicle collision.

The crash involving the late model Jeep occurred shortly before 8:30 a.m. in the 3800 block of Lakeview Drive between Howard and Hudson, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Reports from the scene indicated the 18-year-old male driver was traveling westbound on Lakeview Drive at a speed too fast for conditions, hit the embankment and flipped the vehicle over onto its top.

Two Northshore Fire medic units and an engine, and two CHP units were reported to have responded.

The driver – who was not wearing his seat belt – was reported to have sustained moderate injuries, while his passenger, who was wearing his seat belt, was not injured.

The CHP said the driver was taken to Sutter Lakeside Hospital, where along with treatment he was expected to undergo a blood draw.
