Pismo Beach, CA – On the afternoon of Wednesday, February 4, 2026, a multi-vehicle collision resulted in injuries to three people and caused significant traffic delays, according to The San Luis Obispo Tribune.
The California Highway Patrol reports that the crash occurred at approximately 2:53 PM in the southbound lanes of Highway 101, south of the Price Street off-ramp.
The collision involved four vehicles, including a Ram pickup truck towing a flatbed car trailer, a white Lexus, a white minivan, and a gray Volkswagen Jetta.
Multiple emergency responders were dispatched to the scene, including ambulance personnel and several tow trucks. CHP radio traffic indicated that no extrications were required at the scene. Authorities have not confirmed whether any of the injured individuals were transported to a hospital for further treatment.
As a result of the crash, at least one southbound lane was blocked, causing traffic to back up for several miles. CHP reported congestion extending as far north as Avila Beach Drive. Although tow trucks later cleared the vehicles involved, traffic remained slow through the late afternoon.
By 5:00 PM, CHP advised that congestion persisted northbound to Los Osos Valley Road due to residual delays from the earlier closure. The cause of the collision remains under investigation, and no additional details regarding contributing factors have been released.
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.
