Sad story in the Ottawa Citizen today of a Canadian Mom who was killed in a head on collision in California. Her 10 m/o RF baby survived but was "seriously injured" in the collision.

The baby's most serious injury was a fracture to the side of his head with some bleeding outside the skull, Mike Wass said. X-rays showed no spinal injuries, he said.

Kyler is expected to stay in the hospital for two weeks before being able to fly home to Ottawa, Mike Wass said.

"He looks a lot better. The swelling is starting to go away," Wass said. "We've actually been able to hold him. His injuries are minor compared to what they could have been."

Wow... it really doesn't look like ANYTHING should have come out of that car alive.

That is so scary, God, it makes me want to drive a tank.

WHOA that Civic is so mangled it's amazing Kyler survived.

There was some extrication done by emergency responders on the Honda- it's possible that some of the mangle is from that. I saw the pictures the afternoon it happened (while the driver of the other vehicle was still alive, and the reports were that the child in back was like 4 years old; I'd been in chat with a friend in Santa Cruz who listens to the scanner and heard the dispatch and followed the call), as soon as they hit the local paper's website, and yeah... it sure looked unsurvivable. Lucky, lucky baby.... and very, very unlucky baby, losing his mama.

My friend from high school posted about this on his facebook, the mom was his friend and he is having a really rough time with it.
