Authorities did not identify either of the drivers immediately Monday morning, pending notification of relatives.
The Honda’s driver was ejected and died at the scene, along with the other driver. The CHP said it was awaiting toxicology tests but that they believe driving under the influence is a reason for the crash. They are awaiting toxicology tests, which generally take a couple of months.
The CHP closed both directions of Kirker Pass Road for about 4½ hours following the crash.
