A Princeton man was arrested for felony driving while under the influence after he allegedly ran a traffic light in Orland and hit a car.
At about 6 p.m., Orland police officers, Orland volunteer firefighters, and ambulance personnel responded to a report of a vehicle collision at East and Walker Streets.
Officers contacted Kyle Wills, 23, of Princeton, who was driving a pickup east on Walker Street when he failed to stop for a red light at the intersection with East Street.
The truck collided with the passenger side of a car being driven by Yoselin Alvarado, 28, of Orland, indicating she had either been driving south on East Street or had made a left turn from westbound Walker Street onto southbound East Street.
The damage to the pickup seemed to consist of a large dent to the driver’s side fender.
Alvarado was evidently injured in the collision and was transported by ambulance for medical assistance.
Field sobriety tests were performed on Wills. He was then handcuffed, placed in an Orland police unit, and transported to Glenn Medical Center in Willows for a blood draw.
From there, he was booked into the Glenn County Jail on charges alleging causing death or bodily injury while driving while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, and causing death or bodily injury while driving while under the influence of alcohol (both felonies).
His bail was set at $80,000.
Bambauer Towing removed the car from the scene. The Observer left before the pickup was removed.
