Overview

  • CHP says a solo-vehicle crash occurred around 3 a.m. on westbound I-580 at the Grant Line Road off-ramp near Tracy.
  • Witnesses reported a pedestrian on the freeway; officers contacted a woman who, due to alcohol intoxication, did not initially disclose or remember the crash location.
  • After questioning, officers backtracked to the site at about 5:20 a.m. and found the one-year-old, who had gotten out of the vehicle and was later taken to Oakland Children's Hospital.
  • The child is expected to recover, and the woman was arrested on suspicion of felony DUI, felony child endangerment, and felony hit-and-run.
  • CHP shared scene photos and emphasized that impairment includes alcohol, prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and cannabis, while withholding the woman's identity and her relationship to the child.
