Hell on Wheels: Baby Left for Five Hours in a Scorching Hot Car!
Imagine this – an 18-month-old baby locked inside a car at +31.7°C, alone, motionless, while the temperature inside the vehicle climbs to deadly levels. No, this isn’t a horror movie scene, but a chilling reality from the French department of Corrèze, where a child was left for five hours in a blazing hot car in a parking lot.
How Did This Even Happen?
No one knows yet why the baby was left in this rolling furnace. Police have launched an investigation, but the fact remains – the parents or guardians made a mistake that could have cost a life. Firefighters found the child only after five hours, by which time the baby was already in serious health danger due to heat and dehydration.
Heat That Kills
On the day of the incident, June 20th, the temperature reached 31.7 degrees Celsius. But inside the car? The temperature was much higher, turning the vehicle into a deadly trap. Experts warn that car temperatures can soar up to 60 degrees within minutes, which is lethal for any child.
Rescuers Acted Fast, But…
Firefighters were called quickly, and the child was urgently airlifted by helicopter to the University Clinical Center in Limoges. Medical intervention managed to stabilize the child, but the consequences of this drama could have been catastrophic.
Why Do These Tragedies Happen?
Leaving children in cars is not uncommon, but it’s extremely dangerous. Often, parents forget the child in a rush or believe they’ll be just a moment. But even a few minutes can be fatal.
Experts and Police Urge Caution
Police and experts urge parents to be extremely careful and never leave children alone in vehicles, especially on hot days. It’s a matter of life, not a moment of carelessness.
