Arroyo Grande, CA (January 9, 2025) – Two individuals were seriously injured in a wrong-way crash on Highway 101 in Arroyo Grande early Thursday morning. The accident occurred around 12:43 a.m., just north of Grand Avenue, according to the California Highway Patrol.

David Berdahl, 42, was driving a 2008 Ford Ranger northbound in the southbound lanes of Highway 101 when he collided head-on with a 2009 Jeep Liberty, driven by 38-year-old Anthony Padron.

Following the collision, emergency responders worked quickly to extricate Berdahl from his vehicle. He was transported to Adventist Health Sierra Vista Hospital with major injuries. The Jeep Liberty burst into flames after the crash, but Padron was able to exit the vehicle on his own. He was taken to Marian Regional Medical Center for treatment of major injuries.

The CHP believes that alcohol may have played a role in the crash. The incident is under investigation, and further details may be released as the investigation continues.
