San Luis Obispo, CA (Aug. 12, 2025) – A Sunday morning two-vehicle crash in San Luis Obispo sent an SUV into the side of an apartment building, causing significant structural damage and displacing residents.
According to reports, the incident occurred around 10:35 a.m. on August 10 at the intersection of Los Osos Valley Road and Royal Way. The crash involved a red Chevrolet Tahoe and a silver Honda. Witnesses told authorities that one of the vehicles may have run a red light, though investigators have not confirmed which one.
At least one person was transported by ambulance. The impact heavily damaged the first floor of the apartment building and affected the second floor, prompting the city’s building department to prepare to red-tag the structure. While the downstairs residents were not home, a small chihuahua inside the unit was unharmed and later reunited with its owners. The upstairs neighbor, who was home at the time, described hearing the crash before discovering the SUV below.
