At 1:10 p.m., Jeffrey Lawrence Kleefisch, 58, of Idyllwild, was driving his 1999 white Jeep Cherokee southbound on Sylvan Way in Pine Cove, just south of Pine Cove Road, when his vehicle struck a parked 2003 Honda Pilot owned by Phillip Craig Wills, also of Idyllwild. Kleefisch’s vehicle had rollover damage and Will’s vehicle had moderate damage. Kleefisch was cited for driving under the influence. No one was injured and there were no passengers in any vehicle involved.
