San Luis Obispo police are investigating a collision that happened late Sunday night.
A driver was traveling westbound on Foothill Blvd. toward Tassajara Dr. when he hit several cars and a PG&E power pole before coming to rest in the front yard of a home.

MatulMuralles reportedly tried to run away, but nearby residents stopped him.
