An eastbound box truck went off the right side of the road, then over-corrected and crossed the center line into oncoming traffic. UHP said it then collided with a westbound pickup truck.
The two people in the pickup truck died from their injuries.
The driver of the box truck was taken to a local hospital in stable condition.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
UHP said there was a brief closure to westbound traffic before they set up a process of alternating directions using the eastbound lanes.
