The California Highway Patrol and American Medical Response responded to the scene of a two-vehicle crash.
 
According to reports, a Lompoc resident driving a 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix drove west on Highway 154 “at a suspected high rate of speed.” Then, it veered into the opposing lane.
 
The Grand Prix crashed into Joseph Person of Santa Barbara driving a 2019 Honda Civic. Both vehicles suffered major damage. Also, one of them ended up in a ditch.

Santa Barbara County sheriff’s deputies also came to the scene to help.

The authorities urged anyone with information about the crash to call the CHP’s Buellton office at 805.688.5551.
 
When behind the wheel of a vehicle, it is your responsibility to ensure the safety of yourself and others around you. Moreover, it is important to always drive within the posted speed limit. Also, slow down if you see traffic stalling ahead to avoid hitting other vehicles.
