The identity of the person killed has not been released.
Traffic was backed up in the northbound lane of U.S. 117 for around an hour before both lanes were reopened.
A white Ford F-350 and a silver Chevrolet Malibu are involved; the driver of the Malibu was killed.
Trooper J.S. Smith said the Ford F-350 was traveling north on U.S. 117 when the driver of the Chevrolet Malibu ran a red light at the highway's intersection with Arrington Bridge Road going west.
When the Malibu ran the red light, the truck t-boned the vehicle, sending it off the road and into the woods in the median, he said.
The driver of the Ford F-350, whose identity has not been released, declined to provide comment on the wreck.
No charges are expected to be brought against the driver of the truck, said trooper C.S. Grainger.
