Two men were killed when their cars collided on the 405 freeway shortly after 4 a.m. on Sunday.

The crash occurred in Costa Mesa, and appears to have been caused by Jose Garcia Lopez, a resident of Fullerton. Lopez was driving the wrong way on the freeway when his Ford hit another Ford head on.

Both Lopez and the driver of the other vehicle were killed at the scene, and one of the cars caught fire.

Authorities are still investigating the incident, and have not yet determined why Lopez was heading south in northbound lanes.
