One person died when a semi-truck and an SUV collided at the deadly Wellsona Road intersection on Highway 101 near Paso Robles on Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2024.

A crash at one of San Luis Obispo County’s deadliest intersections left a horse with possible injuries Thursday night.

Around 9 p.m., California Highway Patrol officers responded to a crash involving a pick-up and another truck pulling a horse trailer at Wellsona Road and Highway 101 — an intersection that has seen eight fatalities in the last decade.

The truck and trailer pulled across the highway in front of the second truck, causing it to collide with the side of the horse trailer, according to a CHP news release.

Though the drivers sustained minor to no injuries, CHP reported Friday morning that one horse was in the trailer and sustained “possible” injuries due to the crash.

The extent of the injuries were not yet clear.

Drugs and alcohol were not determined to be a factor. The crash is under investigation.

Exclusive-Trump may cancel US Postal Service electric mail truck contract, sources say
(Reuters) -Donald Trump's transition team is considering canceling the U.S. Postal Service's contracts to electrify its delivery fleet, as part of a broader suite of executive orders targeting electric vehicles, according to three sources familiar with the plans. The move, which could be unveiled in the early days of Trump’s administration that begins on Jan. 20, is in line with Trump's campaign promises to roll back President Joe Biden’s efforts to decarbonize U.S. transportation to fight climate change – an agenda Trump has said is unnecessary and potentially damaging to the economy. Reuters has previously reported that Trump is planning to kill a $7,500 consumer tax credit for electric vehicle purchases, and plans to roll back Biden's stricter fuel-efficiency standards.
