More info:

PALOMAR MOUNTAIN ---- One person was seriously injured in a head-on crash that sparked a small bush fire Sunday morning, authorities said.

About 9:25 a.m., a sedan and Toyota Tundra pickup truck collided on East Grade Road, just west of Will Valley Road, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The wreckage blocked both lanes of traffic, and the sedan caught fire, the CHP said. Preliminary reports said that everyone made it out of the sedan before fire consumed it.

The flames ignited a small area of brush, which firefighters quickly extinguished, a fire dispatcher said.

One person was taken to the hospital by helicopter with serious injuries, the CHP said.

The road was cleared by 11:30 a.m.

And, yes, everyone was out of the sedan. No burns. :)
