Shortly after 3 p.m., the driver escaped uninjured after crashing a sedan into a tree in the 800 block of Santa Rosa Street, according to the San Luis Obispo Police Department. No other vehicle was involved in the collision.

The car sustained major front end damage. City staff will determine whether, for safety reasons, the tree needs to be removed and replaced.
