SAN MATEO COUNTY, Calif. (KGO) -- There were two deadly crashes in the Bay Area overnight Sunday.

The California Highway Patrol says one person is dead and two others are injured after a fatal crash on Interstate 280 in San Mateo County.

The accident happened just before 3 a.m. on Southbound 280 and Eastbound 92 in Redwood City.

The CHP says it appears a black Volkswagen hit a concrete overpass barrier -- then veered back into the middle lane where it stalled and was slammed into by a white Honda CRV.

The person inside the black Volkswagen died at the scene, the CHP said.
