| 72 degrees and sunny is no way to die! Never leave your child alone in a car. Posted: 12 Jun 2012 11:13 AM PDT
By Amy Wadsworth Public Information Coordinator Partnership for Children of Lincoln & Gaston Counties publicinfo@pfclg.com According to Angela Ross, Trauma Program Coordinator with CaroMont Health Trauma Services in Gastonia, last year there were 33 children nationwide that died in cars as a result of hyperthermia. These deaths are preventable! Many caregivers do not realize that a child's body heats up three to five times faster than an adult's. It only takes a few short minutes before a child can become overheated. Heat stroke happens when the body cannot cool itself fast enough and the core temperature rises to dangerous levels. In a vehicle, temperatures can exceed 100 degrees in less than 10 minutes on an 80 degree day, which can be fatal. Cracking the window does nothing to reduce the temperature inside a car left in the sun. Ross said that many of these deaths are because parents forgot their children were in the vehicle. There are many things you can do to remind yourself that your child is in the car including putting your child's picture on your rearview mirror. "Pay close attention and always check the backseat," she said.
Top Tips for Preventing Hyperthermia (According to Safe Kids USA). Remember ACT-Avoid, Create Reminders and Take Action! Avoid heat stroke-related injury and death by never leaving your child alone in the car, even just for a moment! Create reminders and habits that give you and your child's caregiver a safety net:
Take action if you see a child unattended in a vehicle. Dial 911 immediately!
Download the Free iPhone App “Baby Reminder” Baby Reminder, a new iPhone app, was created by a software developing company in Israel to help prevent these tragedies. It is a good tool to remind you not to leave you child alone in your car. Here is the link: http://itunes.apple.com/il/app/baby-reminder/id468332744?mt=8.

The cement truck was running south on S. Grove Ext when the tire marks showed it ran off the right side of the road, hit a mailbox and served back to the left before flipping and laying on its side. The driver was alert when he taken to CMC-Lincoln. A passer-by, Ray Trevino, said he was driving north on South Grove when “he came around the curve and just saw a cement truck flipping in the road.” Several neighbors were startled when they heard the wreck. “We all heard a big kaboom, then we ran outside to see the truck in the ditch.” Crouse Fire Department, Lincolnton Fire Department, Lincoln EMS and North Carolina Highway Patrol responded to the call.  Firefighters cut the roof off the top of the truck to move the driver. Photo Seth Mabry
