Safety and Roadway Context
According to the California Office of Traffic Safety, children under age 8 are required to be secured in a car or booster seat. That guidance does not establish the missing child's restraint status or whether the child was ejected in this crash. City of Redwood City records say the current SR84-US101 interchange configuration was associated with 195 collisions between 2018 and 2022. For roadway jurisdiction, the city's Public Works information says Woodside Road and Highway 101 over-crossings within the city are owned and maintained by Caltrans, not the city's Public Works Department. Those records provide location and jurisdictional context but do not explain this crash or identify a separate crash-specific reporting channel.
