Cloverdale family dealing with another DUI crash

<p>The great-grandson of a Cloverdale woman killed by a drunken driver is recovering from injuries suffered Sunday in a Highway 101 chain-reaction crash allegedly started by a drunken driver.</p><p>“It's unbelievable that this has happened to our family back to back,” said Bee Anderson, who lost her 77-year-old mother in a crash last summer and is now hoping for the quick recovery of her grandson.</p><p>Cody Trettin, 19, of Cloverdale, was injured early Sunday morning and remained hospitalized Monday after crashing into a car flipped by an alleged drunken driver on Highway 101.</p><p>Sunday's crash was at 1:10 a.m. on Highway 101 near Asti Road in the Healdsburg area.</p><p>A suspected drunken driver, Derek Copley, 20, of Ukiah, was heading north when he made an unsafe turning move, said CHP Officer Jon Sloat.</p><p>The driver hit the center divider and flipped his pickup. The Ford F-150 landed on its wheels in the middle of the highway, facing the wrong way without headlights on. The two men inside were seriously injured.</p><p>Within a minute, Anderson's grandson was approaching in his 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer. </p><p>It was dark and foggy and Trettin “was unable to perceive the danger on the road ahead,” the CHP reported.</p><p>“He hit them head on,” Anderson said.</p><p>Anderson is the daughter of Bev Jones, one of two 77-year-old Cloverdale women killed in July by a San Francisco woman who'd been wine tasting. </p><p> “I'm just a little bit tired of drunk drivers being out on the road,” said Anderson of Santa Rosa.</p><p>Trettin got out of his car and helped the other driver, Copley, out of the Ford and they pushed the vehicles out of the road, Sloat said. </p><p>Within about a minute, driver Gloria Figueroa, 49, of Cloverdale came upon debris from the wreckage and crashed her 2000 Honda van. </p><p>Two people in the van suffered minor injuries and were taken to Healdsburg District Hospital.</p><p>Copley, his passenger Austin Bowers, 24, also of Ukiah, and Trettin were taken to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital.</p><p>Trettin had moderate injuries. His grandmother said he underwent surgery on one leg and has been transferred to Kaiser Permenante Medical Center where he remained Monday.</p><p>Bowers remained Monday at Memorial in fair condition.</p><p>Copley, who was arrested on suspicion of felony drunken driving, has been transferred to UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento due to his injuries, the CHP said.</p><p>Copley was driving without a legal license and was wanted on a $5,000 arrest warrant for an earlier driving violation, Sloat said.</p><p>Sunday's crash comes less than six months after the death of Jones and close friend Nancy “Sue” McBride in a drunken driving collision.</p><p>On July 18, Lyndsay Murray-Mazany of San Francisco crashed into a car carrying the two Cloverdale women and two other friends on their way to dinner in Geyserville. </p><p>Murray-Mazany, 27, pleaded guilty this fall to two counts of gross vehicular manslaughter and felony drunken driving and was given a sentence of just under four years in state prison.</p><p>Trettin commutes from Cloverdale to Santa Rosa Junior College for school and is employed at a north county hardware store, Anderson said.</p><p>She called him a very responsible young man who now probably will suffer setbacks at school and work due to his injuries.</p><p>“I think it's terrible, terrible that much (drunken driving) is going on out there,” Anderson said.</p>
