“In this case here, I can tell you that seatbelts definitely saved some lives,” said Const. Ed Sanchuk.
“We want to make sure that when you have children in your car, depending on the age and the weight of your child, make sure that they are in a car seat or booster seat.”
Sanchuk added that no road closures were in place but tow trucks were on scene. The investigation is ongoing.
