The accident occurred on Highway 33, just north of Casitas Vista Road just before 6 a.m.
It is unclear at this time what caused a pickup truck and sedan to crash.
One person became trapped inside one of the vehicles as a result.

Police reopened the traffic lanes just before 10 a.m. after cleanup and investigation.
