Passenger Injured and Driver Arrested after Hit-and-Run Rollover Crash near Park Way

 
LAKEPORT, CA (May 30, 2018) – Two people were injured early Wednesday morning after a vehicle rolled over on Lakeshore Drive. The driver, 25-year-old Paul Durbin of Nice, was allegedly under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident.
 
According to the California Highway Patrol, a Chevrolet Camaro driven by Durbin, rolled over in the area at about 2:50 AM. When the Camaro returned to its wheels, Durbin drove away from the scene and left an ejected passenger at the scene.
 
The Lake County sheriff’s deputies spotted a visibly wounded Durbin at a nearby gas station, where he was immediately arrested. Durbin was booked into the Lake County Jail on suspicion of felony drunken driving causing injuries and felony hit‑and‑run, with a bail amounting to $50,000.
 
Durbin’s passenger received medical treatment from responding emergency teams and was released shortly after the crash. Their identity was not immediately released. No further information was disclosed to the public at this time.
 
Do not get behind the wheel of a car if you find yourself under the influence of drugs or alcohol. By being responsible, you can keep yourself and others on the road safe. When buzzed or drunk, it is best to request an Uber, Lyft, taxi, or call a family member/ friend to come pick you up.
