Faulknor succumbed to injuries from the crash and died.
The driver of the Jeep,18-year-old William Shepherd of Kelseyville, was airlifted to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital and was found not to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, according to a CHP report.
Another driver was arrested for suspicion of DUI late Sunday after driving his 1989 GMC Blazer off of a steep embankment.

All sustained minor to moderate injuries. Garcia said a DUI charge was raised to the level of a felony because injuries were caused.
