Three people were injured and one arrested after the vehicle they were in struck a tree on Pioneer Trail on Sunday.

Amber Sabourin, 21, of Novato was driving east on Pioneer Trail on Sept. 17 about 1:25am when she told California Highway Patrol officers she saw an animal and swerved to miss it. She missed it. But in doing so the vehicle left the road and came to a stop against a tree.

Sabourin was taken to Barton Memorial Hospital with a broken leg. She was later arrested on charges of driving under the influence.

A 27-year-old passenger from Las Vegas sustained facial lacerations and a 26-year-old South Lake Tahoe resident who was also a passenger broke an arm.
