March 26, 2026

A semi-truck collided with a sedan on Highway 46 in Paso Robles Thursday morning, resulting in damage to a light pole and the closure of the highway’s eastbound lanes by Union Road.

Shortly after 5:10 a.m., a caller reported the crash at the intersection of Highway 46 East and Union Road, according to the CHP. Authorities closed the eastbound lanes of Highway 46 East in the area for at least two hours.

Officials called Department of Transportation personnel out to the scene over the damaged light pole, which was left with exposed wires.

It is unclear if anyone suffered injuries in the crash. The cause of the collision remains under investigation.

Whatever happened to the illegal truck driver that murdered the guy on 46? Dan “Light Touch” Dow downgrade him to a misdemeanor?

Drove through the area this afternoon and it looks like the big rig was headed east on the highway, skidded and then veered off the right shoulder, down an embankment. My guess is that the sedan was crossing at Union Road but did not allow enough time to do so safely.
