Both vehicles entered the intersection and a T-bone type collision occurred. The Jeep Commander driven by Polanco struck Smith’s Lincoln Navigator causing the vehicle to spin out, collide into and wrap around a traffic light pole. Emergency responders utilized the Jaws of Life equipment to extricate Mr. Smith, who succumbed to his injuries at University Medical Center. His passenger, 57 –year old Sandra Smith suffered serious injuries and was admitted to UMC where she remains in stable condition. Polanco sustained minor injuries.

We all know the temperatures here in El Paso can be brutal but inside a car is like an oven.

Never leave a child inside a car.

Even on mild or cloudy days, temperatures inside vehicles can quickly reach life-threatening levels. Never leave a child alone in a car: https://bit.ly/hotcars2021

If it's 80 degrees outside, it takes only 10 minutes for the temperature inside a car to reach near 100 degrees. Leaving windows slightly open doesn't help. Children should never be left unattended or be able to get inside a vehicle. Safe Kids Worldwide NHTSA
