The California Highway Patrol says alcohol was likely a factor in a fatal crash near Squaw Valley Saturday night.

Officers say a Truckee man rear-ended another car on State Route 89 then tried to drive off.

He drove into the opposite lane hitting another car head-on.

He was killed and a man and woman in the other car were seriously injured and taken to Renown Regional Medical Center.
