Transit officials have closed all lanes of Highway 160 north of Sherman Island Road near Rio Vista after a fatal head-on crash there.
The crash happened around 1 p.m. when two sport utility vehicles collided head on.
Eyewitnesses who saw the crash attempted to free a trapped person who was unconscious inside one of the vehicles. That person died from their injuries.
It was not clear if anyone else was injured in the crash.
Officials with the California Department of Transportation say the road will be closed in that area for at least an hour, and traffic will be diverted around the closure to alternate routes.
