Two people were injured after a semi-truck crashed into a Starbucks on North Coast Highway in Oceanside early Wednesday morning, May 7, 2025.
According to the Oceanside Fire Department, the crash occurred around 4:45 a.m. at 801 North Coast Highway.
A semi-truck veered off the roadway and collided with the building, causing significant damage and trapping the driver inside the cab.
Rescue efforts were delayed due to an electrical hazard. Firefighters were able to extricate the driver after San Diego Gas & Electric shut off the building’s power. The driver and an employee inside the Starbucks sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla.
Authorities confirmed that all occupants were evacuated from the building. A hazardous materials team responded due to a potential diesel fuel leak, but no dangerous spill was found. The building was declared temporarily unsafe pending a full structural evaluation.
The Oceanside Police Department is investigating the cause of the crash.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
