Women killed in rollover, three children survived
Found this article at ksl.com. I think this goes to show why it is so important that you buckle up your children while in the car.
Woman killed in rollover
May 19th, 2010 @ 10:40pm
TREMONTON, Utah (AP) -- A Colorado woman is dead but her three young children have survived after their pickup truck rolled on Interstate 84 west of Tremonton.
Utah Highway Patrol troopers say the 23-year-old woman from Meeker, Colo., was driving west on I-84 about 3 p.m. Wednesday when the vehicle veered into the center median and swerved back onto the highway before crashing and rolling over.
They say she wasn't wearing a seat belt but remained inside the vehicle with her three children.
The 4-year-old boy, 2-year-old girl and a 9-month-old boy were all secured in the vehicle and received only minor injuries.
Officials are withholding the woman's name until other family members are notified.

Event at the Pool
My three kids and I decided to go to the local pool with our neighbors. The kids went into the wading pool and I told them to stay together. The other mom and I positioned our chairs by the side of the pool so we could keep an eye on the kids, and let our toddlers play dip their feet in the water. I was talking to my friend and seconds later Carlie, my 3 year old was gone. For some reason, I happened to turn around, to see her walking over to the main pool. She walked directly under the lifeguard chair and walked into to the pool. No one else saw her. It took me forever to run over to where she fell in and pull her out. I have never seen her eyes so big as when I pulled her out of the water. Even though she was only under for a few seconds I felt sick. What if I hadn’t seen her fall in? What if I had reached her and it was too late? It only took a few seconds for her to wonder off. Two weeks later she still tells me about the time she fell in the pool and mommy saved her. I’m so grateful that nothing happened to my little girl.
