When police arrived, both cars were sitting in northbound lanes with major damage.
A man in the passenger’s seat of the blue Nissa Altima was seriously hurt and was transported to a local trauma center with life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the other car, a 54-year-old man, received minor injuries in the crash and was also taken to a nearby hospital. He is expected to survive.
