Paso Robles, CA (March 26, 2026) – Two individuals sustained serious injuries in a multi-vehicle collision early Thursday at the eastbound Hwy 46 and Union Rd intersection in Paso Robles. Emergency responders were sent to the scene around 5:21 a.m. after reports of a three-vehicle collision. Upon arrival, crews discovered extensive damage at the intersection and started aiding those involved. Responders extricated two individuals trapped inside one of the vehicles. After their release, both individuals were transported to a nearby hospital suffering from serious injuries. Officials stated that none of the occupants from the other vehicles involved in the crash were taken to the hospital from the scene. Authorities withheld the names of the injured people. The crash briefly closed both directions of Hwy 46 on eastbound and westbound lanes while crews cleared the scene. The roadway was subsequently cleared, with all lanes reopening later that morning. Officials are still probing the cause of the crash, and additional details will be shared as they emerge. We are thinking of those injured as they receive medical care.
