MERCED COUNTY, Calif. (KMJ/KFSN) — A 20-year-old was killed in a crash in Merced County early Friday morning.
It happened just after 2 am near Santa Fe Drive and Avenue 2, just east of Atwater.
Officials say a BMW was driving on Santa Fe Drive when it somehow crossed into the opposite lane.
The car collided with a Chevy Sedan near Avenue 2.
The 20-year-old driver in the BMW was not wearing a seatbelt and died at the scene.
The other driver, a man in his 60s, was taken to a nearby hospital.
Drugs or alcohol are not factors in the crash.
This is the same location where one person died in a deadly crash last Thursday, February 27.
