A 15-year-old girl was hospitalized after being struck by a car on Las Tablas Road near Hawley Street in Templeton on Thursday evening.

Shortly before 7 p.m., a caller reported the pedestrian versus vehicle accident. The teen was walking across Las Tablas Road when a southbound car hit her.

First responders transported the teen, who suffered major injuries, to Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center.

The 38-year-old driver remained at the scene. Officers do not believe alcohol or drugs were a factor in the crash.

San Luis Obispo County: not a good place to walk your dog.

REALLY not a fan of the new “jay walking is fine” law that changed recently. Ridiculous and likely to cause more accidents like these :/

It’s at the discretion of the pedestrian to cross safely. A law used to target blacks, Asians and Mexicans to violate them for cross a road without a crosswalk that could be blocks away in a city is stupid. Not saying it’s this girl’s fault, but to waive your rights for crossing a street outside of a crosswalk is some Nazi Germany standard. If people aren’t capable of looking left or right, safely, there is no hope.


This most likely wasn’t her fault. Cars and dissociative behavior like the internet and people being in a bubble is to blame. Road rage, etc. Or a distracted driver using a cell phone. I see people on phones daily and it’s illegal, yet, cops don’t care. Shit, cops never signal in Paso yet could ruin my life if I ever slipped up and didn’t know my rights or cost me thousands and mess with me. Don’t comment for ego dude.
