(HealthDay News) -- Most people worry about their children's safety in cars.
But another critical place to be concerned about safety is around cars, according to a study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
A CDC reports concludes that children left unattended in or around motor vehicles can be injured or killed by slow-moving cars, cars rolling backward in driveways and parking lots, cars set in motion by the child, and children getting trapped in the car's trunk.
Some automobile companies are now equipping cars with sensors that can detect some of these unseen obstacles.
The best advice: When the kids are involved, be alert.
