LOWER LAKE – Officials have reopened Highway 29 after a mid-morning crash closed down the roadway.

The California Highway Patrol reported that two small vehicles were involved in a head-on collision at approximately 10 a.m. on Highway 29 just north of Hofacker Lane between Lower Lake and Hidden Valley.

The roadway was completely blocked as rescue personnel and tow companies were called to the scene.

Rescue units were reported to be en route to the hospital, according to CHP, although initial reports were not clear about how many people were injured or where, precisely, they were being taken.

One lane of the highway was reopened just after 11 a.m., with both lanes reopened by approximately 11:19 a.m., the CHP reported.

Lake County News will follow up with more information as it becomes available.
