The crash happened around 10:55 a.m. on Highway 26, just east of Archerdale Road.
 
According to the California Highway Patrol, a 62-year-old woman and passenger were traveling westbound in a silver Honda. Several feet behind them was a Chevrolet Silverado, driven by a 29-year-old man.
 
The Honda then veered onto the right shoulder in order to make a U-turn, officers said. As the woman was making the turn, the pickup truck broadsided the Honda.
