A Cal Poly student was injured in a crash with a vehicle near campus in San Luis Obispo County on Thursday afternoon, October 30, 2025.
The crash occurred at about 4:07 p.m. when a 21-year-old cyclist, traveling eastbound on Highland Drive across Highway 1 toward campus, entered the intersection against a yellow or red light.
At the same time, an 80-year-old man driving a Mercedes SUV was heading northbound on Highway 1 with a green light and slowly entered the intersection from a stop.
The cyclist struck the front left side of the Mercedes in the northbound lanes and was thrown from his bike. The cyclist was conscious and able to speak with CHP Officer Dave Reed, but may have suffered minor injuries.
The California Highway Patrol blocked the intersection for about 25 minutes while paramedics treated the cyclist. He was then transported by ambulance to Adventist Health Sierra Vista Hospital.
The investigation is ongoing.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
