It's summertime, naturally the hottest season of the year in New Jersey but also one that's proven most dangerous to leave a child in the car on a hot day.

AAA-Mid-Atlantic's Tracy Noble explains the troubling statistic of 12-children across the nation have died in 2017 alone due to being left in the car on a hot day.

"In the past two-decades twelve children in New Jersey have died as a result of being left in hot vehicles," said Noble.
