CHP reported a down tree was laying across all lanes just north of the Sycamore Valley Rd. off-ramp at 9:00 a.m.

An accident was simultaneously reported at the El Pintado exit.

It is unclear if the fallen tree and accident are directly related.

The victim has not been identified.

CHP estimates the freeway will be closed in this area until 12:30 p.m.
