A collision on Mount St. Helena Saturday night sent a Santa Rosa woman to Queen of the Valley Medical Center and a Lassen County man to the Napa County Department of Corrections.

California Highway Patrol Officer Garret Ray said the crash took place on Highway 29 north of Tubbs Lane at about 9:30 p.m. when a 1998 Dodge Dakota pickup truck driven by 50-year-old Mark Carpenter of Herlong crossed the double yellow center lines and struck a 1997 Nissan Quest head-on.

The Nissan driver, 51-year-old Sasan Barrow, was taken to the Queen as a precaution after suffering minor injuries and Carpenter was arrested on suspicion of DUI, Ray said.
