TWIN BRIDGES, Calif. —

A passenger is dead after a two-vehicle crash on Highway 50 in El Dorado County near Camp Sacramento, which shut down the roadway for hours, California Highway Patrol said.

A truck that was hauling a trailer was traveling at an unsafe speed as it approached a bend in the road, causing it to tip over and fall onto an SUV that was traveling in the opposite direction, CHP said.

Crews on scene are opening one-way traffic, but drivers should expect the roadway to be affected until 1 a.m., CHP said.
