SOLANO COUNTY, CA — Three people in a golf cart suffered injuries in a DUI crash on New Year's Eve at a country club near Fairfield, according to the California Highway Patrol. Officers responded at 10:58 p.m. Sunday to 35 Country Club Drive, the location of Green Valley Country Club in unincorporated Solano County.
An ambulance had been called to the scene nearly half an hour earlier after the driver of a golf cart made an unsafe turn and went down a 30-foot embankment.
Pinole resident Dino Glennon Forristall, 65, was at the wheel. He suffered minor injuries but he had two passengers — both of whom suffered major injuries, including a broken back and a broken arm, according to the CHP.
