1 hour ago17 minutes agoHappy Wednesday! There’s a bit of good news in the extended forecast– Child advocates say a major crash that injured several children has prompted more demand for car seats.
San Antonio police say the vehicle crash that injured six children who were not wearing a seatbelt is still under investigation. None one has been charged, and police would not provide an update on the children’s condition. Nonprofit advocate Pamela Allen’s organization, Eagle’s Flight and Advocacy & Outreach, has distributed nine car seats since the start of the month, a number she says is often seen in a six-month period.
“We’re going to make sure that these young families get everything that they need from us to be able to protect their child, take care of their child, and to make sure they have taken all the safety precautions for that child,” she said. “This is a lifesaving thing that you can do to reach out to your community by offering your used car seat and bringing it in to us. And what better way to say, ‘This is what I’m doing to prevent a horrific accident happening to a child,’” she said. “This is what you can do to help us by donating your used car seats.”List of Car Seat Distribution ProgramsPatty Santos joined the KSAT 12 News team in July 2017.
