One person is dead and others injured in a Wednesday crash on Interstate 80, authorities said.
A witness at the scene said a black Ford pickup headed eastbound on I-80, near the Gold Run rest stop, was going 90 to 100 miles per hour when it veered to the right, off the road, said Officer Robert Schmidt, of the Gold Run California Highway Patrol office.
“Hit a sign, hit a couple smaller trees and then two big trees that stopped it in its place,” he added.
The right, front passenger died on scene, Schmidt said.
The driver was critically injured and transported via air ambulance to Sutter Roseville Medical Center.
