CHP reports that the crash occurred around 9:48 PM, involving a white GMC pickup truck that came to rest on the right-hand shoulder. Both vehicles sustained major front-end damage from the impact, indicating the severity of the collision.
Emergency responders from the fire department arrived on scene and provided immediate assistance, but at least one person was pronounced dead following the crash. The incident was later upgraded from a major injury collision to a confirmed fatality.

Wrongful Death Claims & Comparative Negligence
Determining fault in a collision can involve multiple factors, and under California’s Comparative Negligence rule, several parties can share partial responsibility.
Should someone else be found even partly responsible for the death, the family may be able to file a Wrongful Death claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance. This can provide compensation to help cover medical bills, funeral expenses, and the loss of income to support the family of the deceased.
