1 vehicle crash in Templeton



On Monday, December 16 at 2:45 pm 20-year-old Joshua Alexander Sims of Paso Robles was driving his 2002 Ford Focus at a high rate of speed while traveling northbound on River Road in the Templeton area (County of San Luis Obispo maintained roadway) approximately 1.75 miles north of River Oaks Drive. Sims failed to negotiate a curve to the left before losing control of his vehicle and the Ford Focus rotated in a clockwise motion as it slid across the roadway surface and impacted a wire fence while the vehicle began overturning. Sims was not utilizing the occupant restraint system (seatbelt) and was subsequently ejected from his vehicle during the course of the vehicle rolling over. As a result, Sims suffered major injuries and was transported by San Luis Ambulance to Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center located in San Luis Obispo. Sims may have been using his cell phone and was possibly distracted while driving which may have been a contributing factor in this collision occurring. However, the accident is still under investigation.
