RODEO — A person died early Friday after a vehicle crashed and flipped over on a freeway, the California Highway Patrol said.

The wreck happened about 4:05 a.m. on westbound Interstate 80 just east of the Willow Avenue exit. Initial reports confirmed by the CHP indicated a second vehicle may have collided with the Chrysler 300 that was on its roof.
