ALCOHOL-RELATED ACCIDENT: Timothy Valencia, 19, of 60 Los Altos Dr. in Hollister, was life-flighted to San Jose Medical Center with internal injuries and injuries to his head and knee after crashing his 1995 Honda Civic into two road signs, a parked 1973 Lincoln Continental and a fence at Sunnyslope and Dry Creek roads at 1:45 a.m. on Wednesday. Hollister police found beer in Valencia's car and there was a strong odor of alcohol, but he was conscious and acting "obnoxious and bleeding all over the place" when officers arrived, police said. Valencia also has an outstanding warrant for a rape that occurred about a year ago, police said. Both vehicles were totaled.
