Rising Hot Car Deaths in 2024 Highlight Urgent Safety Concerns

As temperatures soar, the tragic death of a 2-year-old Arizona girl underscores the growing risk to children left in vehicles.

At least 10 children have died in hot cars across the U.S. this year, with three more deaths under investigation.
Children's body temperatures rise faster than adults', making them especially vulnerable to heatstroke in vehicles.
The latest incident involved a 2-year-old girl in Arizona, found unresponsive after being left in a car with the air conditioner running.
Authorities emphasize that even a short duration in a hot car can be fatal, with temperatures inside rising rapidly.
Advocates are urging automakers to implement technology solutions to prevent these preventable deaths.
