The deadly crash happened at 2:11 a.m. at the intersection of Cochran Street and Sycamore Drive. Both cars involved in the crash were carrying a driver and a passenger. The off-duty officer's vehicle was traveling southbound on Sycamore, the Uber was going eastbound on Cochran, police said.
"We do believe that somebody may have violated the right of way that created this collision," Joseph May, deputy chief of the Simi Valley Police Department, told KTLA.
It's unclear whether the off-duty officer was a driver or a passenger.
Police are investigating whether alcohol or drugs were a factor in the deadly crash, May said.
The intersection of Cochran Street and Sycamore Drive was expected to be closed for several hours.
No other details were released.
