Hwy 16 was closed for several
hours, but has now reopened.
  UPDATE:  According to CHP an officer was starting to chase a speeding car around 11:30 PM on March 28, 2016.

   The officer didn't notice a car had stopped in front
of the patrol car and rear-ended the car, sending it into the oncoming lane, where it crashed head-on with another vehicle.

   The driver of the vehicle that was hit by the CHP unit died at the scene. Several others, including the CHP officer were taken to the hospital.
