The baby who was dragged by a car for two blocks in a shocking hit-and-run in Downtown Squamish is reportedly doing well and is back with his mother. A GoFundMe has been launched for the family injured in the accident in Downtown Squamish.
“Baby Quinn, a complete miracle, is doing well and has suffered bruising. He is safely back in his mom’s care,” says Courtney Campbell-Leveck, a family friend organizing the GoFundMe.
The baby’s mother Sara, Quinn and the grandmother Carolyn were walking across the crosswalk with their other family members in downtown Squamish when they were struck by a car. Quinn’s grandmother suffered head injuries but is recovering in the hospital. All three are from Ontario and were visiting family in Squamish. “Please help donate to Baby Quinn and Carolyn’s recovery and support and show our love and care for Sara and Grandpa through this time,” Courtney said.
