2-Year-Old Girl's Head Gets Stuck In Car’s Power Window, Dies

A 2-year-old girl, identified as Kierre Allen, has died after she got her head stuck in a car’s power window in Detroit.

Her relatives said that the toddler's father yelled, “ My baby, my baby,” as soon as he discovered her head got stuck in the window on Monday. Her father had apparently fallen asleep in the car in a driveway when the tragic incident happened.

Kierre was immediately rushed to a hospital but doctors failed to resuscitate her, TV station WXYZ reported. While the police are running an investigation on the girl’s death, they have arrested her father for unrelated traffic tickets.

Back in Aug. 2017, a similar incident happened which claimed the life of a 2-year-old toddler as his neck accidentally got trapped in the automatic window of a vehicle.

In another such incident which happened in Jan. 1998, a 3-year-old boy called Steven Falkner got strangulated by a power window of his family car as his knee hit the switch and then the window closed on his neck which interrupted his oxygen supply. Later that night, he died in a hospital in Ottumwa, Iowa, his parents revealed. Bethany Falkner, Steven’s mother warned other parents against the downside of electrically powered windows after losing her child.

Falkner said, indicating the worse, "You no longer have your baby," She further added, "That's what the electric car windows did to my child. Our son died."
