2 vehicle crash outside of Paso Robles

On Monday, June 17 at 1:50 pm, 18-year-old Cassandra Walton of Paso Robles was driving a 2007 Mercedes Benz westbound on Linne Road just east of Hudson Road outside of Paso Robles at an unknown speed, while 22-year-old Justin Lahr was driving a 1987 Jeep Commanche eastbound on Linne Road and west of Walton at an unknown speed. According to Walton, she became distracted as she rolled down her window causing her to drift over the broken yellow lines and begin driving westbound in the eastbound lane. Lahr noticed that Walton was in his lane and took evasive action turning his vehicle to the the left into the westbound lane. Walton realized she was driving in the opposite lane and turned her vehicle back to the right in an attempt to return to her lane, while Lahr observed her vehicle abruptly move back into the westbound lane at which time he applied his brakes. However he was unable to slow down causing the front of the Mercedes Benz to collide with the front of his Jeep Commanche which became disabled, trapping Walton in the driver's seat, facing in an easterly direction in the westbound lane. The Mercedes Benz continued in a northeasterly direction onto the dirt shoulder where it collided with a wire fence and overturning. The Mercedes Benz came to rest facing in a southeasterly direction north of the roadway. Walton was able to self-extricate while Lahr had to be removed from his vehicle utilizing the jaws of life. Lahr sustained a broken left leg and lacerations to his head and chin, and Walton sustained abrasions. Both parties were transported to Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center by San Luis Ambulance. Drugs or alcohol don't appear to be a contributing factor in this collision.
