After a Draper crash where an unrestrained 5-month-old baby was ejected, public safety officials are emphasizing the importance of keeping the smallest pass
engers safe during the deadliest time of the year on roads.
Witnesses in Draper told police they saw a mother frantically searching for her baby after it was ejected from a vehicle following the crash. Police said even though there was a car seat in the back of the car the mother was driving, the child wasn’t strapped in. Green, who responded to the scene, said the injured baby was not restrained at the time of the crash, but other kids in the car were. The kids ranged in age from 10-14."The baby is just experiencing a little head swelling or brain swelling. Other than that, baby's awake and recovering," Green said.
"Car seats are life-saving devices," said Keri Fuhr, DPS's Deputy Director of Highway Safety and a child passenger safety technician instructor."What we find is on average, 60% of car seats are installed incorrectly," Fuhr said. "And that can be just a simple misuse that can turn into something serious."
