Driver injured when car flips after crashing into parked vehicle in SLO

A driver was injured when their vehicle flipped on its side after ramming into a parked car in San Luis Obispo on Friday morning.

The collision took place at Chorro Street and West Street around 11:45 a.m., the San Luis Obispo Police Department said in a Facebook post.

An elderly driver of a Subaru crashed into a parked red sedan, causing the Subaru to roll over, the post said.

Photos shared by the police showed the upended Subaru on its side in the middle of the street, which was scattered with small amounts of debris. The red sedan appeared to have a completely flat tire.

The driver was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries and is not suspected of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the post said.
