Two individuals were killed and a third person suffered major injuries in a head-on crash on Highway 46 in northeastern San Luis Obispo County shortly on Tuesday morning.

Shortly after midnight, one person was driving a 2020 Hyundai westbound on Highway 46 East about four miles east of Highway 41. The Hyundai was traveling behind a tractor trailer at a speed of about 55 mph. The driver tried to pass the tractor trailer and drove into opposing traffic in the eastbound lane, according to the CHP.

A Ford F-350 pickup truck traveling eastbound crashed head-on into the Hyundai. The crash killed the driver and the passenger inside the Hyundai. 

Grant McKenezie of San Diego, the driver of the F-350, suffered major injuries. The extent of his injuries is unclear.

My experience on 46 East is that it is chock-a-block with idiots who think that passing anything that is in front of them is cool. Without first checking out the safety of the move, of course. That is totally uncool. Ya have to just pull right out there and zoom ahead. I don’t really know what can be done about that. Some would call it “natural selection at work”. I would tend to agree, were it not for so many innocent, decent drivers caught in the middle of the idiocy. Why so many use that road to lose their minds is beyond me.

Last mistake the driver of Hyundai will ever make. Maximum posted speed limit on highway 41/46 is 55 MPH. Impatience maims and kills.

Generally speaking, there are no unsafe roads just unsafe drivers.

Driver error. Preventable.
