A 3-year-old girl was killed after being ejected from a car during a crash on northbound Highway 99 near Hammer Lane in Stockton on Friday, the California Highway Patrol said.
The child’s mother, Maria Romero, 32, of Atwater, was driving a 2000 Isuzu sport utility vehicle north on Highway 99 at 12:45pm when it crashed for unknown reasons with a 2012 Toyota two-door vehicle. The vehicles veered onto the northwest shoulder of the road, where the Isuzu rolled over. The 3-year-old girl, who was not restrained properly, was ejected, CHP Officer James Smith said.
The Toyota was driven by Andre Peterson, 48, of South Lake Tahoe. He and passenger Linda Fischer, 52, were uninjured, Smith said.
