Cayucos, CA – On the afternoon of Tuesday, October 21, 2025, a head-on collision involving a motorcycle and a vehicle left one person critically injured near Whale Rock Reservoir, according to The San Luis Obispo Tribune.

The California Highway Patrol reports that the crash occurred around 3:25 PM on Old Creek Road near the reservoir in rural San Luis Obispo County.

Initial findings indicate the collision involved a Toyota sedan and at least one motorcycle, possibly a sports bike. Early reports suggested that two motorcycles may have been involved, though that detail remains under investigation.

Emergency responders arrived shortly after the crash and called for an ambulance to transport the injured motorcyclist. Authorities said the victim suffered serious injuries consistent with a high-impact collision.

Both the motorcycle, which sustained major damage, and the Toyota sedan required towing from the scene. Traffic hazards were reported in both lanes as crews worked to clear the roadway.

The California Highway Patrol continues to investigate the cause of the crash. Poor cell phone service in the area made coordination challenging for first responders.

Personal Injury Claims & Comparative Negligence

Determining fault in a collision can involve multiple factors, and under California’s Comparative Negligence rule, several parties can share partial responsibility. Should evidence reveal that another party contributed to the injuries, victims may be eligible to file a Personal Injury Claim with the responsible party’s insurance, which can provide compensation for medical bills and lost wages during recovery.
