California authorities shut down 100 miles of Interstate 80 on Friday as the biggest snow storm of the season bore down on the Sierra Nevada. Chief Meteorologist Jeff Ranieri and Pete Suratos report. 

Four people suffered minor injuries when a tree fell on their vehicle in the Filmore District during heavy winds and rain Friday, the San Francisco Fire Department said.

The tree, estimated at 20 to 25 feet tall, toppled onto the vehicle on Golden Gate Avenue just west of Laguna Street about 5:15 p.m., Capt. Justin Schorr said.

The four people were taken to a local hospital, he said.

Laguna Street was closed and traffic on Golden Gate was being rerouted, Schorr said.
