Six people were injured Monday in a collision at a Camarillo intersection, authorities said.
The accident occurred about 3 p.m. at Las Posas Road and Crestview Avenue.
A Lexus SUV driven by a 58-year-old woman was southbound on Crestview when it collided with a Chevrolet pickup truck that was northbound on Las Posas Road, Ventura County Sheriff’s Department officials said.
