Sherriffs claim Conti may be under the influence of drugs and was to blame for a three-car accident.

One of the other drivers was unconscious with a laceration on her head and had lost a lot of blood. They took her to Desert Regional Medical Center.

The unidentified male driver sustained neck and shoulder injuries.

Conti was detained on the spot on suspicion of felony drug driving and causing great bodily harm.
