A 27-year-old Lancaster man was killed and two other men were injured when two trucks collided in Lancaster, authorities said Monday.
It happened at 5:41 p.m. Sunday at the intersection of Avenue H and 90th Street East, according to California Highway Patrol Officer M. Rogers.
A 34-year-old Glendale man drove one pickup truck eastbound on Avenue H into the path of a truck headed north on 90th Street East, Rogers said. The northbound truck crashed into the eastbound truck and the driver of the northbound truck was killed. His name was not released pending family notification. The driver of the eastbound truck was hospitalized with moderate injuries and his passenger, a 31-year-old Tujunga man, was hospitalized with major injuries, the officer said.
The cause was under investigation, although Rogers said neither alcohol nor drugs were believed to have been involved.
The CHP shut down the intersection where the crash happened for several hours.
