A driver going the wrong way on the Antelope Valley Freeway early Sunday morning sideswiped one car and collided head-on with another, killing a 60-year-old Palmdale man, authorities said.
About 3 a.m., a 30-year-old man driving a Ford Explorer began traveling north on the southbound side of California 14 near Santiago Road in Acton, according to the California Highway Patrol.
About three minutes later, the Explorer sideswiped the first car, leaving its driver with moderate injuries, and then struck a 2006 Nissan Murano, killing its driver, authorities said.
The driver of the Explorer suffered major injuries, authorities said. None of those involved in the crashes had yet been identified.
