At the scene, HCSO Lt. Simon Cheng said the crash involved a blue Volkswagon SUV and a white work van.
Cheng said the SUV was traveling westbound, and the van was headed eastbound. For unknown reasons, one of the vehicles crossed over the center lanes, and both cars, which might've been driving at an excessive speed, crashed.
Three people suffered serious injuries and were taken to the hospital. At the hospital, one of the passengers in the work van died, as well as the driver of the SUV.
