ABC News - Video shows baby thrown from van during police chase
In Ohio, a police chase involving Zachary Sherena resulted in a 9-month-old being ejected from a van. The incident began when Sherena, recognized from an arrest warrant, was approached by police at a Walmart near Toledo. With his 9-month-old and 5-year-old children in the van, Sherena sped off, leaving the children's mother behind. During the chase, which reached speeds of up to 100 mph, the van door was open, and the infant was thrown from the vehicle. The car seat bounced multiple times off the grass, but the officer did not notice. The chase was called off due to bad weather. Sherena later informed the mother about the location of the children, leading to the discovery of the baby, still in the car seat, after an hour in the cold. Sherena has been charged with child endangerment.
