Seatbelts save at Hwy-40 rollover


Monday afternoon at 12:25 PM, Golden Valley Firefighters came upon a rollover incident while en route to another medical emergency.  Firefighters immediately stopped and rendered aid to the three occupants who were traveling eastbound on Hwy-40 at Mile-Post 42.  Firefighters reported that the car left the roadway and rolled onto its top.  The parents in their 20’s were wearing their seat belts and a 2-year who was also properly restrained in a car-seat were all uninjured.   Captain David Martin cites proper use of all supplemental restraints and a proper car-seat for the infant as one of the major reasons all occupants were able to walk away from this accident.
