LOMPOC VALLEY, CA (June 21, 2023) – Tuesday morning, a two-vehicle head-on collision left three people dead on Highway 1.

It happened in the northbound lanes of the Hwy at around 6:00 a.m., June 6th, Capt. Scott Safechuck said.

In addition, Safechuck stated that a 2008 Kia and a 2017 Chevy were the vehicles involved in the collision.

Upon investigation, the officers have learned that the Kia was traveling south on the Hwy, just south of Constellation Road, and the Chevy was in the northbound lanes.

For unknown reasons, the Kia veered over to the opposite lanes and collided head-on with the Chevy.
