One person was seriously injured Tuesday afternoon in a collision between a dump truck and a car, which temporarily closed Ortega Highway east of San Antonio Parkway.

The head-on collision happened about 2:50 p.m. about a mile east of San Antonio, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Jon Latosquin. All lanes were temporarily closed, with the westbound lane reopened by 4:45 p.m. and the eastbound side about 20 minutes later.

Orange County Fire Authority paramedics took one patient with serious injuries to an area hospital, OCFA Capt. Mike Blawn said.
