Comments about ‘Provo child hit by car, receives minor injuries’

I'm so glad the child is ok! Please everyone walk around your vehicle before getting into your car. It will avoid many accidents with children.

My neighbors look at me funny when I back into my driveway every night. I don't do it to be cool, but to make sure I don't back over one of their kids that are always free to roam the neighborhood. I love that kids are on a long leash around our house, but with thatfreedom comes the cost of extra attentiveness. Back-up sensors or cameras are cheap online - they aren't very much money, but could save a kid's life. If you're worried about it, do something now or change your routine to make things safer. It could happen to anyone!

thank goodness this one had a happy ending. utah has approx 10% of the deaths in the usa from kids being backed over in a driveway, yet not nearly 10% of the usa population. adults need to be more careful and vigilant when it comes to watching your kids, especially preschoolers.
