This is a tragic accident and a big reminder of why children should be properly secured in a vehicle. The parents will live with this for the rest of their lives. Praying for all involved.

The person at fault here is the driver of the Ram, he was in the turn lane and turned in front of the Sentra that was traveling southbound. The speed limit this section of road is 50 and many people go much faster. I really don't understand why people in comments are going after these parents when the fault here is the RAM driver who turned in front of them- I bet most Parents have at one time gave a bottle or changed a diaper in the backseat. This sounds like a one time slip up where Parents were in a rush and made a simple error in judgement while in a rush and would take it back in an instant. Bigger picture here is the Ram Driver who cut them off in a rush to get to his parking lot front. This is overall the ram drivers fault for being inpatient and not waiting to go and slamming into the Nissan . So sorry for these Parents probably young Parents that made an error thst most Parents have at one time or another. My condolences to them, this is so tragic.
