MONTEREY, Calif. (KION-TV) -- CHP confirmed Monday afternoon that a two-vehicle crash occurred on Monte Road, leaving the road closed and a 32-year-old man from Lockwood dead.

They said that a red truck was traveling northbound while a white pickup truck was traveling southbound. For a reason still under investigation, CHP says that the red pickup truck veered to the left and collided head on with the white pickup truck.

According to CHP, the red pickup truck went over the guard railing and crashed into the Salinas River below. They say that the driver of the red pickup truck died.

Officers are on scene and this story will be updated as KION receives more information. We have a reporter on scene now.

I’ve been an international professional writer and performer for over 25 years. With a background in journalism, creative writing, dance and aerial, I find the intersection between all of these skills lands itself somewhere under the term “storytelling.”
