NHTSA reminds drivers of dangers posed to children in hot cars
Posted on Jun 26, 2009
It is a horrific tragedy: every year young children die when left alone in hot vehicles during searing summer months. Hyperthermia, also known as heat-stroke, is the leading cause of non-crash vehicle deaths.
Many drivers do not realize how quickly a child can overheat when left in a hot car. Even with the windows rolled down a few inches, temperatures inside a vehicle can reach deadly levels that can kill.
Parents and caregivers are advised to never, ever leave a child alone in a vehicle, even with windows open or the air-conditioner running. Vehicles should also be off-limits to children for games, since kids are also killed when they accidentally lock themselves in a car or the trunk of a car and aren’t found in time.
If you spot a child alone in a hot vehicle, NHTSA has the following tips: first, call the police. If the child appears to be in distress, get them out of the vehicle as quickly as possible. Cool the child rapidly and call 911 or the local emergency number immediately.
Warning signs that a child may be seriously incapacitated by a hot car and need immediate medical help include red, hot, and moist or dry skin, no sweating, a strong rapid pulse or a slow weak pulse, nausea or acting strangely.
