Shortly after 6 p.m., the ambulance collided with the big rig near the Flying J Travel Plaza in Frazier Park, according to Kern County Fire Department spokesman Capt. Tyler Townsend.

The woman and the truck driver, whose identities were not released, were both pronounced dead at the scene, Townsend said.
