SAN MATEO, CA (April 25, 2023) – Saturday afternoon, Eden Palmer was fatally injured in a wrong-way collision along Interstate 28 near San Mateo. 

According to the report, the crash happened around 2:38 p.m. on Highway 280, south of State Route 92 in the town of Woodside. 

The California Highway Patrol stated that a white 2010 Ford sedan went north in the southbound lanes of I-280 for reasons under investigation. 

Subsequently, the Ford crashed into a southbound 2019 black BMW SUV in the No. 4 lane, near SR-22.
