Two people died Saturday night when a pickup driving in the wrong lane on U.S. 85 near Lucerne collided head-on with another vehicle.
Alcohol is suspected of playing a part in the collision, said Trooper Tim Sutherland of the State Patrol.
The crash happened at about 9:25 p.m., when a 2000 Chevrolet S-10 pickup traveling south in the northbound lane hit a 1999 Mitsubishi Galant, Sutherland said.
The male driver of the pickup and female driver of the Mitsubishi died.
The names of the dead are being held pending notification of relatives, Sutherland said.
