What if Scipio the Elder dies at the Battle of the Ticinus?

A Carthaginian scouting party commanded by Hannibal encountered a Roman scouting party commanded by Scipio the Elder and inflicted a terrible defeat on them. Scipio the Elder barely escaped with his life and only avoided death due to the actions of his son, Scipio Africanus. What if Scipio Africanus had been too late to save his father? How does the Second Punic War proceed?
 
Is this change decisive ? Not necessarily. There still was his elder brother, Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio Calvus (father of Nasica, Scipio's cousin), who was going to campaign in Spain.

Our young Scipio Africanus still can get his spanish command.
