We like to think that our children will be safe when we drop them off at daycare, but as this week's car accident involving Childtime childcare in a Seattle suburb proves that child accidents and child injuries can happen at any time. On Monday just after 4 p.m. in Redmond, Washington, a Rav4 SUV crashed into the infant room at the Childtime daycare building.
Redmond Police say that the driver of the SUV was a 45-year-old woman from North Bend, Washington, who had arrived at the daycare to pick up her granddaughter. Although Washington Police would not give details about the crash, witnesses at the scene of the child accident say that the driver was wearing a cast on her right foot that may have caused uncontrolled acceleration. The woman was not arrested and no charges have been made at this time, although the car accident is still under investigation.
Of the seven infants in the infant room at the time of the Washington State car accident, three were injured. Two babies were taken to Overlake Hospital Medical Center in Bellevue while a third infant was rushed to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. However, recent reports reveal that none of the babies were seriously injured in the car accident.
The Childtime childcare center will remain closed as repairs are made and as the center's owners determine that the building is structurally sound.
