The crash happened around 7 a.m. On Sunday at the Vista Del Mar and West Imperial Highway intersection. According to authorities, a southbound street-sweeping truck collided with a northbound Honda SUV. Emergency services arrived at the scene, where the SUV driver—a Latino male—was pronounced dead.

What Occurs in Head-on Crashes Between Large and Small Vehicles. Head-on collisions frequently cause extensive damage because of the combined impact from vehicles traveling toward one another. When a smaller vehicle collides with a larger one, the impact can be particularly severe for its occupants. A vehicle’s structure affects how it absorbs force.
