The tragic car accident
The police report noted that the driver and a passenger, both wearing their seatbelts, suffered serious injuries and were taken to a local hospital.
Unfortunately, Preston, who was seated in the back, “was not securely strapped in a child safety seat.” He was transported to a nearby hospital but sadly “did not survive his injuries.”
On April 27, individuals close to Preston’s family shared a video recounting the incident: “Their vehicle left the highway, hit a tree, and, tragically, Preston didn’t make it,” one woman stated.
