A news story from Chicago today, and I know all too often, everywhere. And no reason for an ejection, short of the vehicle being destroyed.
Boy thrown from minivan, killed
A 3-year-old Addison boy died Saturday in a rollover accident on the Eisenhower Expy. near Broadview. Christian Alonso was killed when he was ejected from the eastbound minivan driven by his mother, Juana Alonso. She told police she swerved to avoid another vehicle and lost control, hitting a concrete divider near 25th Avenue. Police are investigating if another vehicle was involved. Juana Alonso, 29, her daughter Juana, 10, and son Jaime, 8, were hospitalized with broken bones and other injuries. Christian was in a child safety seat, but it may not have been fastened correctly, police said.
