A 7-year-old girl in Colorado escapes a hot car after authorities say her grandfather left her inside while he shopped at a Walmart. According to reports, the child found the vehicle’s temperature reached about 150 degrees Fahrenheit. The girl then smashed a window to get out and was able to leave the car. Authorities later charged the grandfather, identified in one report as Eddie Espinoza, 62, with child-related wrongdoing tied to leaving the child unattended in the vehicle. One account describes the child using a mallet to break the window, while another describes her smashing the window to escape. The incident is reported to have occurred in Thornton, Colorado. Both sources focus on the alleged decision to leave the child in the parked car and the extreme heat that prompted the escape. The reports do not detail the child’s medical condition in the provided text. The case centers on whether the grandfather’s actions created dangerous conditions for the child.
