Toddler dies after being 'left inside baking nursery minibus for seven hours'
Police have launched an investigation after an 18-month-old girl was allegedly left inside a nursery transport vehicle for several hours before she was discovered and pronounced dead at the scene
Inattention combined with a fatal failure to check the facts is apparently behind the death of a one-year-old girl in the western Portuguese city of Almada. The driver and kindergarten staff forgot her on a bus that was taking children to kindergarten and nursery. She remained there for eight hours, writes the website of the daily Blick.
A mother wants to pick up her child in the day care center in Portugal – but it's not there. Then it becomes clear: a carer forgot it hours before in a minibus. The rescuers' attempts to resuscitate fail.
The daycare only realized the little girl was missing when her mother arrived to pick her up.
The 18-month-old girl never made it to daycare.
An 18-month-old girl died on Thursday after being forgotten inside a car belonging to a day care center in Almada, a city in the metropolitan region of Lisbon, Portugal. According to the Portuguese press, the child remained for about seven hours inside the car, parked at a temperature of about 30°C, before being found already in critical condition. The Judicial Police opened an investigation to determine the circumstances of the case.
