LOS BANOS, CA — A pickup truck crashed into the ground level of a hotel in Los Banos Monday evening, according to the Los Banos Fire Department.
The incident took place at the intersection of Pacheco Boulevard and J Street, where emergency crews quickly responded to reports of a vehicle colliding with a building.
When firefighters arrived, they found a Ford pickup truck lodged into the ground floor of the hotel. Fortunately, officials said the driver was evaluated at the scene and did not suffer serious injuries.
No other injuries were reported, and there was no need for evacuations at the time.
However, the hotel did sustain significant structural damage. Fire officials shared that extensive repairs will be needed before the affected area can safely reopen.
