One person was killed and eight were taken to the hospital on Thursday following a multi-vehicle collision on westbound Highway 12 in Santa Rosa, officials say.

The Santa Rosa Fire Department said the roadway closed between Stony Point Road and Fulton Road. The road reopened at around 4:10 p.m. The collision was reported at around 11:50 a.m., as 12 vehicles were stopped at a red light on Highway 12 at Fulton Road. A dump truck hauling dirt didn't stop and rear-ended the last car in line, creating a chain reaction that killed one person and sent eight people to the hospital with mild to moderate injuries, according to the California Highway Patrol.

About half of the vehicles had "quite a bit of damage," a CHP spokesperson said, and one pickup truck caught fire. In an update, Santa Rosa fire said the driver of the pickup truck on fire was dead before the fire department arrived. The fire was extinguished in 20 minutes the department said. California Highway Patrol responded to the scene along with firefighters and medical personnel.
