Miguel Maciel Dominguez Dies in Highway 29 DUI Crash

 
Lake County, CA (March 16, 2021) – On Saturday, 47-year-old Miguel Maciel Dominguez, and 53-year-old Cassandra Rolicheck, both from Clearlake, died in a DUI crash on Highway 29.
 
The fatal crash took place at about 11:05 p.m. near Middletown.
 
21-year-old Keilah Coyle was traveling on a black 2003 Ford F-250 pickup southbound on Highway 29. She was approaching Bar X Road north of Middletown at an unknown speed.
 
However, due to her level of intoxication, she allowed her vehicle to travel over the solid double yellow lines of Highway 29. Her vehicle traveled into the path of a 2000 GMC van driven northbound by Rolicheck.
 
As a result, the two vehicles crashed head-on.
 
Coyle’s pickup overturned and became disabled in the northbound lane, partially in the northbound and southbound traffic lanes.
 
Right away, rescuers extricated both Dominguez and Rolicheck from the wreck. Unfortunately, they were pronounced dead at the scene.
 
On the other hand, Coyle sustained only minor injuries in the crash.
 
Traffic crews closed Highway 29 for approximately five hours as they investigated and removed the involved vehicles.
