Increase in Little Rock auto accident injuries suffered by kids

You might think that the people most at risk for Little Rock auto accident injuries would be drivers, but a Little Rock hospital is warning parents that there is an increase in children suffering Little Rock auto accident injuries and other injuries while they are playing, according to Fox16.

According to Arkansas Children’s Hospital, more children were injured and seen in the hospital over the holiday weekend that would have normally been seen in a weekend. Hospital representatives say Little Rock auto accidents account for some of that increase, but children getting hurt while playing is also a large factor.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says not only do children get injured due to Little Rock auto accidents, but the improper use of car seats and seat belts also causes kids to suffer Little Rock auto accident injuries.
