–No injuries were reported Saturday evening after a truck collided with another truck that was filling up with gas at a Paso Robles gas station.
Paso Robles Police posted the following to their Facebook page:
Did you notice that nasty accident yesterday evening?
Red truck: Ahhh, just sitting here filling up with gas, minding my own business… Such a nice day out.
Black truck: Leeeerrrooooyyyyy Jeeeennnnnnkkkkkins!!!!
The deets: Driver of the black truck was traveling northbound on Spring Street and attempted to use the two-way left turn lane to pass a vehicle (not cool). The vehicle he attempted to overtake sped up. The driver of the truck then saw the two-way left turn lane was occupied. Black truck then swerved into oncoming traffic and attempted a left turn to westbound 7th Street. Due to speed, the truck careened into the gas station, smashing into a parked truck, sheering off a gas pump. Drugs/alcohol not a factor. Luckily, nobody was injured.
