A four year old girl was flown to Oakland Children’s Hospital after her mother crashed the vehicle due to the alcohol intoxication. Two other children were in the back of the car as well. A drunk mother of 3 children was speeding her vehicle on 03/01/2011 around 6pm. Suddenly she lost control during a turn and visibility . Her car, Chevy SUV, flipped over several times and traveled about 20 feet causing car accident.
Two other children 6 and 4 years old and mother 25 years old were taken to Santa Rosa Hospital. This could easily be a fetal accident for all four occupants of the vehicle. They are lucky to be alive. It is unknown if any of the kids or their mother were wearing seat belts. I hope they did. Most likely the mother will be charged with DUI and probably loose the custody of her kids.
At this point and time everyone is in stable condition. Irresponsible mother broke one of the vertebraes in her cervical spine. In my professional experience, that is a long road to recovery and is a very painful one. A six year old child lacerated the liver. Most probable cause is an excessive pressure from seat belt when she was ejected from a vehicle during a crash. Two year old boy was discharged from a hospital was allowed to leave with his father. It is not known the extent of the injuries to her four year old, but flying her to a special hospital is not a good sign. However, I am pretty sure they all have some serious soft tissue injury which will require some serious rehabilitation.
