SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The California Highway Patrol says two children and two adults were killed Saturday after a person drove the wrong way on Interstate 80 in the Sierra Nevada. It says a witness called 911 near 5 a.m. to report a wrong-way driver. The crash involving three vehicles happened minutes later near Eagle Lakes Road in Sierra County. KCRA-TV reports a baby who was being held in the arms of an adult survived and was airlifted to a Nevada hospital. CHP officers believe alcohol was a factor and said eastbound I-80 was closed at Highway 20 after the crash. It is expected to reopen later Saturday.
