A driver crashed into a parked car in a San Luis Obispo neighborhood on Wednesday morning — leaving one car stacked on top of the other.

At about 8:20 a.m., “a driver traveling down Felton reached for sunglasses, swerved and collided with a parked car” on Felton Way, the San Luis Obispo Police Department said in a Facebook post.

A photo of the aftermath of the crash shows the front right wheel of a white sedan sitting in the driver’s side window of a gray Kia with the white sedan tilted at an angle.

The crash did not result in injuries, and officers do not suspect a DUI, police said.
