CHP reported a fatal head-on collision in Acton, California Wednesday morning on March 30th. 

22-year-old Christian Flores was traveling north in a Honda around 4:50 a.m. on Sierra Highway before veering into oncoming traffic. 

As a result, his vehicle collided head-on with a Nissan driven by Vicente Gonzalez, 38. 

Sadly, Flores died at the scene of the crash. 

In addition, Gonzalez suffered major injuries and was transported to a hospital for treatment. 

It is unclear at this time what factored into the accident. 

The crash remains under investigation.
