Well, that sucks.  The rollover I saw this morning killed a 4 year old
kid. Turns out no one in the car were wearing seatbelts.  The driver
should be charged with vehicular manslaughter.

STEVENS PASS, Wash. - The current storm striking the Northwest has now
claimed a life.

A pickup truck carrying four passengers crashed along Highway 2 about 4 ½
miles west of Stevens Pass Saturday morning, killing a 4-year-old
boy. State troopers said the car lost control when it tried to pass a snow
plow and hit an icy spot on the road. State troopers added none of the
passengers were wearing seatbelts.

The boy died at the scene. The other three passengers were taken to Valley
General Hospital in Monroe, Wash.
