An early season storm turned deadly Thursday as a slick roadway on Highway 80 triggered a chain reaction crash involving 16 vehicles and at least one fatality.

The California Highway Patrol said the crash happened about 11:05 a.m. between Cisco Grove and Emigrant Gap. Traffic was diverted at Kingvale as Highway 80 was closed.

CHP spokesman Officer Chris Nave says the crash happened Thursday in Placer County after the weather turned nasty and hail began to fall.

Nave says one man died when his pickup truck crashed into a truck. He said a few other people had minor injuries.
