California Highway Patrol says a portion of a road north of Hollister was closed after two big rigs crashed Monday around 9:56 a.m.
Highway 25 was closed between Bolsa Road, and Shore Road was closed while CHP investigated and the road was cleared.
The California Department of Transportation said that as of 3:47 p.m., Highway 25 has fully reopened.
CHP says that at least one person was killed in the crash.
Preliminary details show that a 70-year-old man from San Jose was driving a 2017 Freightliner Cascadia north at around 60 mph on Highway 25. At the same time, a 2022 Mack Anthem was going south at around 40 mph, said CHP.
The Freightliner driver crossed the double solid yellow line into the southbound lane and crashed head-on with the Mack truck.
The Freightliner driver was ejected from his vehicle. He was not wearing his seatbelt and suffered major injuries, according to CHP. He was taken to Santa Clara Medical Center.
