The front portion of the red sedan was close to the white truck — which sustained significant front-end damage — near the shoulder of the highway, according to the footage.

The back of the red sedan appeared to be a few dozen feet away, in southbound lanes, the video showed.

A portion of the highway was shut down after 6:30 a.m. for several hours as crews cleared the wreckage from the roadway.

All lanes were fully open again a short time before 10 a.m., Caltrans tweeted.

No additional information was released about the crash, which is under investigation.
