AUBURN, Calif. — A toddler was killed and his mother seriously injured Wednesday after an accident on an I-80E on-ramp.
According to California Highway Patrol, the mother and toddler were in a Volkswagen sedan moving slowly because it had a flat tire.
Their vehicle was hit by a pickup truck merging onto the Riverside Avenue on-ramp. The crash killed the two-year-old boy and seriously injured his mother, and the driver of the pickup truck was also taken to the hospital.
The right lanes of the freeway were shut down for a few hours before reopening around 11:15 a.m.
CHP says they don’t suspect alcohol or drugs were a contributing factor in the crash.
