Mom, Toddler Hospitalized in Peninsula Head-On Wreck

A mother and child were taken to Stanford Hospital as a precaution Thursday morning after a head-on collision in unincorporated San Mateo County, California Highway Patrol officials said.

The collision was first reported at 7:42 a.m. on westbound state Highway 92 near Digges Canyon Road.

The mom was driving a silver sedan east on Highway 92 when she turned to check on her child and veered in front of a truck traveling west, CHP Officer Art Montiel said.

Her sedan crashed into what was described as a plumbing truck, Montiel said.

The mother had a seatbelt on and the child, who was between two and three years old, was properly restrained. They were not seriously injured.

The driver of the truck was not injured, according to Montiel. All lanes of Highway 92 were closed for about an hour as a tow truck removed the vehicles from the highway.
