Two individuals were killed and a third person suffered major injuries in a head-on crash on Highway 46 in northeastern San Luis Obispo County shortly on Tuesday morning.

Shortly after midnight, one person was driving a 2020 Hyundai westbound on Highway 46 East about four miles east of Highway 41. The Hyundai was traveling behind a tractor trailer at a speed of about 55 mph. The driver tried to pass the tractor trailer and drove into opposing traffic in the eastbound lane, according to the CHP.

A Ford F-350 pickup truck traveling eastbound crashed head-on into the Hyundai. The crash killed the driver and the passenger inside the Hyundai. 

Grant McKenezie of San Diego, the driver of the F-350, suffered major injuries. The extent of his injuries is unclear.
