UPDATED: Man cited after crash on Highway 97

Initial reports indicate a 4-year-old child was ejected from the car

Friday, January 2, 2009 11:56 PM PST
A Fort Lewis, Wash., man was cited Friday morning for a child safety belt violation after he lost control and rolled his car on Highway 97 one mile north of the Kla-Mo-Ya Casino, leading to the injury of a 4-year-old girl in the backseat.

The girl was sitting on the lap of the rear center passenger without a seatbelt, and was hurt the most seriously, according to information from the Oregon State Police.

Three passengers were transported to Sky Lakes Medical Center with injuries. Read more in the print edition of Saturday's Herald and News.

" That was on called for, Child services? Just cause the idiot didn't put the child in a carseat/boosterseat dos'nt mean he dose'nt take care of his child all the time, people make bad and stupid mistakes dose'nt mean children services need to be involved, you don't understand how bad they are, the guy made a stupid mistake and he should be punished but child services is not the answer.

" The man should be cited for child endangerment. No seat belt? No child safety seat? Wreckless driver. "
