Hollister, CA – On the afternoon of Saturday, July 5, 2025, a single-vehicle collision resulted in fatal injuries, according to CHP Fatal.
The California Highway Patrol reports that the accident took place around 3:35 PM near the intersection of San Felipe Road and State Route 156.
Emergency services were dispatched to the scene near the 2400 block of San Felipe Road, following reports of a crash involving a single vehicle. Responding units included fire and medical personnel, as well as towing services.

Single-Vehicle Collisions
In some cases, investigations may reveal that even in a single-vehicle accident, nearby drivers or unsafe road features share some responsibility. California’s Comparative Negligence rule means that, even if those injured in accidents are found partially at fault, they may still be eligible to receive partial compensation for damages.
