We are still days away from the official start of summer, but temperatures are on the rise. Already in 2023, there have been seven hot car deaths across the United States.
According to the United States Department of Transportation, on average 38 children under the age of 15 die in a hot car each year.
One of the deaths this year occurred when the temperature outside was only 77°. A one-year-old child died in Pallyup, Washington after being left in the car for nine hours. In 30 minutes, a car can heat up by 40 degrees and become deadly. Hot vehicles are hazardous for children, animals, and the elderly.
