Wrong-Way Collision in Pacifica Turns Deadly

 
PACIFICA, CA (February 11, 2019) – A wrong-way collision early Saturday on Highway 1 near Clarendon Road claimed two people’s lives and left three others with injuries.
 
The wrong-way crash was reported at approximately 4:15 a.m., according to California Highway Patrol.
