Three people were hospitalized after a Toyota Camry collided with a semi-truck at Via Concha Road and Willow Road in the Nipomo area of San Luis Obispo County on the evening of Wednesday, October 28, 2026. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) says the Camry was turning from Via Concha Road onto Willow Road when it hit the semi-truck, which had one occupant. CHP says alcohol and/or drugs may have been a factor, but impairment has not been confirmed. The cause remains under investigation.
According to the San Luis Obispo Tribune, all three people in the Camry suffered moderate to major injuries and were taken to Marian Regional Medical Center, and a CHP officer described the cause as a “pending investigation.” Reports differ on the exact time, with the Tribune citing about 9:30 p.m. and KSBY and Cal Coast News citing around 8:45 p.m. Cal Coast News reported that CHP first described the injuries as major and later as moderate. No arrests were reported in the coverage we reviewed, and any suspected impairment remains allegedly a factor only.
