Toddler dies after being stuck in car window
A Texas toddler accidentally rolled up a car window while her neck was sticking outside of the window. The toddler died of suffocation. The Grandfather, who left the toddler with her infant brother sleeping when he came home, periodically checked on the children, but accidents happen quicker than periodic checks can prevent.
The grandfather, who makes his living selling tamales, stopped at a home between Donna and Alamo and left the siblings in the Ford F-150 with the air conditioner running. The 8-month-old was restrained in a child seat and Ivet was left sleeping, unrestrained, on the front seat of the truck, Treviño said.
The grandfather was at the home for about 15 minutes and poked his head out the door frequently to check on the children, the sheriff said. But witnesses said the child eventually woke up and was “jumping around the vehicle.”
The next time the grandfather checked on them, he saw Ivet’s head was caught in the window. Sotelo freed his granddaughter and laid her on the ground. Seconds later she turned blue and stopped breathing, Treviño said.
