Watch toddler in carseat tumble from moving car

Child was OK after the seat goes flying

MANKATO, Minn. — Authorities in Minnesota say a 2-year-old child is OK after tumbling from the back seat of a moving vehicle while still strapped in a carseat.

Dashcam video captured the moment the carseat and toddler rolled out of the vehicle on Monday as the vehicle turned a corner on a street in Mankato. Witness Chad Mock was driving behind the car. He stopped his vehicle and ran to the child's aid.

Police and paramedics responded and checked the child for injuries. Officials say the child's mother was driving the vehicle. Mock tells KMSP-TV a woman later walked back to get the toddler.

Police say the child was properly strapped into the carseat, but that the carseat wasn't fastened to the seat in the vehicle.
