| ![]() I noticed this event unfolding near the school where my son was doing his soccer practice. I saw the emergency crew administer CPR on the kid and finally seal off the area and the roads. There is a detail animation of how the kid was pinned under a seat and asphyxiated. He made 911 calls but the cops could not locate him. There are enquiries going on about why they could not locate and save him. But it's scary how a simple mechanism can turn deadly. This was a 16 year old kid, not a child. I have done such maneuvers myself trying to retrieve luggage from the cars. https://cin.ci/2qo2nRl https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/teen-d...ry?id=54416116 ![]() Last edited by vivekiny2k : 13th April 2018 at 08:28. |

| ![]() Unfortunate incident, but its freak accident and that too may be first of its kind. It scary to think that a simple thing can turn into a death trap. Its also being reported in local news papers here - https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/teen...ome-topstories Hope the family finds the strength to cope up. Regards |

| ![]() Strictly my speculation is he may have unlatched the seat himself to reach further down. I can imagine myself doing that. |

| ![]() What a terribly freak accident. All of us, daily, do maneuvers such as these that can put us in a tricky spot, because they are seemingly harmless. Although it was the third row in this case, here's something from the article in the above post: Quote:
