Two people were injured, and one of them was arrested, after a two-vehicle collision tonight that snarled traffic on U.S. Highway 101 in and near Redwood City for hours, the California Highway Patrol said. The collision was reported about 7:50 p.m. when a Mazda MX-5 and a Hyundai Sonata sedan collided on northbound 101 near the Whipple Road interchange in Redwood City, said CHP Officer Dave Morey. Specifics about how the collision occurred are still being investigated, Morey said, but the Mazda ended up on its roof. The driver of the Mazda, a man whose name was not available tonight, suffered moderate injuries, and was taken to Stanford Medical Center for treatment. He also was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, Morey said. Two people were in the Hyundai. The adult driver suffered moderate injuries, Morey said, and a 6-year-old passenger in the back seat was not injured. The actions of both drivers are still under investigation, Morey said. After the accident, all northbound lanes of 101 were closed briefly, and three lanes remained closed until after 9 p.m.

A 57-year-old San Carlos man has been arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting a minor twice after meeting the victim using an online dating app, according to the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office.

Jeffrey Ramsden was arrested and booked at the Maguire Correctional Facility on Friday, May 17, following an investigation, the sheriff’s office said.

Ramsden sexually assaulted the victim on two occasions in a private San Carlos home, the sheriff’s office said.

“We believe there are potentially more victims out there that may have been contacted by Ramsden via online dating applications,” the sheriff’s office said.
