SAN MATEO COUNTY, CA — A man died Monday evening in unincorporated San Mateo County in a head-on collision between two trucks, one of which was towing a trailer with a tractor on it, law enforcement officials said.

The collision was reported at 5:59 p.m. at state Highway 1 and state Highway 84, according to the California Highway Patrol.
