Overview
- A 24-year-old father gave his eight-month-old son the vehicle key while loading the trunk, and the child pressed the central-locking button, locking the car with the infant inside.
- The vehicle stood in direct sun with an outside temperature around 28°C, creating a rapid risk environment for the child.
- Because no spare key was available the father alerted the fire department, whose crew forced entry by breaking a window and freed the infant after about 15 minutes.
- Police and multiple regional outlets confirmed the timeline and said the baby was unharmed after the rescue and no immediate legal action was reported.
- The case highlights common safety steps parents can take to reduce risk: keep keys out of children’s reach, carry a spare key, never leave infants unattended in vehicles, and call emergency services if a child becomes locked inside.
