One driver was killed and another was seriously injured early Thursday after a head-on crash on state Route 67 in Poway that prompted a stretch of the highway to be shut down for hours, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The crash on SR-67 north of Poway Road occurred shortly after 6 a.m. and involved two pickups, sheriff\u2019s officials said. A driver heading north on SR-67 went into the southbound lane of the highway and slammed into a truck heading south, officials said.<\/p>\n

Deputies and firefighters responded to the crash and immediately began rendering medical aid. One of the drivers died before he or she could be taken to a hospital. The other driver was transported to a hospital with serious injuries.<\/p>\n

The name of the person killed was not immediately released.<\/p>\n

The crash resulted in southbound SR-67 being shut down at Archie Moore Road, while drivers heading north on SR-67 were diverted west at Poway Road.<\/p>\n

The freeway lanes were reopened in all directions around 2:05 p.m., sheriff\u2019s officials said in a statement posted on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The sheriff\u2019s accident reconstruction team is assisting with the investigation. Officials said deputies have obtained video footage they hope will help investigators determine the cause of the crash.<\/p>\n
