A man was killed after a car-truck collision on Highway 99 in Merced County late Tuesday night.
The crash happened after 10 p.m. when a Chevy Silverado heading north suddenly halted in the right lane. At the same time, a big rig driving up to the Silverado made an attempt to swerve and ended up colliding sides with the Chevy.
The driver of the Chevy was pronounced dead at the scene while his passenger was rushed to a local hospital with severe injuries. The driver of the big rig also suffered injuries, though minor.
