Lebanon, Kentucky (Marion County) Car Accident Claims Life Of Infant
1 year old Rashawna Vancleave died from injuries she sustained in a wreck when the car she was traveling in turned left into the path of a pickup truck. While Rashawna was wearing a seat belt, she was not in a child restraint seat.
The crash occurred on Ky. 68 near Lebanon, Kentucky. In addition to Rashawna, two other passengers, Shirley and Ryasia Vancleave, suffered injuries severe enough to require hospital treatment.
This a tragic outcome, and one can only think if it had been different if Rashawna was in a child seat. Potential criminal charges could result in addition to the civil liability for her death.
