Child Ejected From Vehicle In Seattle Car Accident And Killed

While many parents are sure to securely place their children into child safety seats, a shocking number of car seats are not installed properly. This may have been the case in a three-vehicle accident that took place at 20th Street and Main Street in Seattle near Pratt Park, where a child and the child’s car seat were both ejected from the car during the WA car collision.

According to Seattle Police, the accident took place Monday, January 4, 2010, between a sedan, a minivan, and a DirecTV van. Two witnesses who were interviewed by police said that the DirecTV van t-boned the sedan at the intersection. The car then spun several times before striking the minivan. One adult and two children received very serious injuries in the crash. Four people in total were rushed by emergency workers to Harborview Medical Center for treatment. The drivers of both of the vans were not injured.

There are no stop signs at the intersection where the Washington car crash took place.

To be sure that your child’s car seat is installed correctly, read the manufacturer’s manual closely and follow the basic child seat safety rules. You may also bring your car seat in for an inspection at some fire departments or police stations. Unfortunately, just because your child is strapped into his car seat does not mean he is safe from ejection – the car seat must be secured correctly in your vehicle.
