Fiery accident on the 110


Girl, 2, dies in fiery accident on the 110 Freeway in Highland Park
This story has consumed me most of the day. I kept trying to think what could have been done?

Doors were locked so no one could open them to get the girl. Someone broke the window to try to get the girl. Flames kept people from getting the girl. What if it was me? What if I was the mother?The car bursts into flame. This is so hard to deal with. Maybe have good sharp scissors handy to cut the straps and get her out of the car seat fast and drag her to the front of the car and out the door with you. Split second timing. But you are in shock. Whta if there was a fir extinguisher handy?
But everything is on fire. This is just a tragedy.

I believe every car should have a fire extinguisher.

And a good heavy sharp pair of scissors to use to cut child's seat belt in a hurry.
