The crash happened just after 1:00 a.m. on northbound Highway 85 at Fremont Avenue, above Central Expressway.
 
According to the CHP, a Ford SUV was traveling southbound in the northbound lanes of Highway 85 when it crashed head-on into an oncoming Honda Civic, driven by a 35-year-old American Canyon man.
