🚗 Hot car deaths are the leading cause of non-crash, vehicle-related deaths for children 14 and younger.
☀️ As temperatures start to rise across the country, it is essential for parents and caregivers everywhere to remember: Stop. Look. Lock.
👦 Before leaving a vehicle, stop, look for a child, and lock the car doors. It only takes a second.
📍It is critical that all parents, caregivers, and drivers understand that children should never be left alone in a vehicle, not even for a minute.
