As summer approaches, Huron County Prosecutor Tim Rutkowski is warning about the dangers of heatstroke in vehicles, a leading cause of preventable child deaths. On National Heatstroke Prevention Day, May 1, Rutkowski is joining efforts with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to promote the “Once You Park, Stop, Look, Lock” campaign. Since ’98, over 1,000 children have died from vehicular heatstroke, with 39 deaths last year alone. Rutkowski stresses, “This is 100% preventable.”
