RCMP
Two children in Harbour Grace received minor injuries this morning when they were playing in the front seat of a family vehicle and knocked it out of gear.
According to the Trinity Conception RCMP the children were two and four years of age and were being watched by their father at the time.
The vehicle rolled down the hill, through the intersection and struck two vehicles. The children received minor injuries and were treated at hospital and released.
The vehicles received extensive damage.
THE STATEMENT BY POLICE IS WORDED VERY LOOSELY.THE KIDS WERE IN THE CAR WAITING FOR THIER MOM WHO WAS BEING DRIVEN TO WORK.THE DAD WAS GETTING READY TO PUT THEM IN THEIR CAR SEATS,WHEN AS KIDS DO, JUMP FROM THE SEATS PLAYFULLY,AND YES THE DAD RECIEVED INJURIES BUT MANAGED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE, THE COPS CALLED HIM SUPERMAN, I CALL HIM SUPERDAD,BE CAREFUL WHO YOU JUDGE,MEANN ESS HAS A WAY OF BACK FIRING.
All I can say is it could have been much worst . Vehicles can be replaced .
I can't imagine any parent letting children play in a car, especially a 2 and 4 year old. The outcome could have been much worse, wake up dad find a safe place for your children to play.
WOW! So glad that the children and father are okay. My kids are constantly told not to play in and around our vehicles but yet it seems it is where they always want to go. Things happen so fast, hug daddy and kiddies a little tighter today. I heard what the dad did in order to save his children and it was heroic and I am sorry that he got injured as well. You can blink and a child can get into something SO fast - speedy recovery to all involved.
Obviously they were not being watched very closely by their father....in my opinion, children should not be playing in the front seat of a vehicle....there are safer places for them to play than that....
