CHEHALIS – A Lewis County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said it’s not clear exactly what caused a baby to be ejected from the car in the wreck that left its driver dead on Sunday evening south of Chehalis.

Jackson Highway, Chehalis

Deputies and firefighters responded just before 9:45 p.m. to the single-vehicle collision along the 3100 block of Jackson Highway.

Kelsie Gonzalez, 31, of Chehalis, was dead at the scene and her infant passenger was found outside of the car.

Newaukum Valley Fire and Rescue Firefighter Brad Bozarth said the car hit a fence, a parked van and couple of trees before coming to rest against another tree, in someone’s yard.

The sheriff’s office’s initial information was Gonzalez was traveling southbound at a high rate of speed, and went airborne after striking a ditch.

Sheriff’s Cmdr. Dusty Breen said the 1-year-old’s car seat was still inside the 1990 Acura and secured in the car, but the straps which would have been holding the baby to its car seat were not fastened.

“Based on this it is unclear where the child was and how the exact ejection of the child occurred,” Breen indicated.

He said the baby was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle where it was still undergoing treatment the following morning. He didn’t know if the child was a girl or a boy.

Breen said he expected to know more by Friday, as the investigating deputy would be finishing the report after days off.

The Lewis County Coroner’s Office said Gonzalez died from internal injuries from the impact.

    Not quite the way I meant to put it, but you can’t edit your post once you submit it so there it is. Anyway, what I should’ve said is that you’re never dull, SG. Sometimes I agree, sometimes I don’t, but I’m never bored.

    I remain nothing but entertaining. Lol yeah i blew my cover because i can. Not that i care though. We all know the whole Marijuana charge against me only happened to me because Lewis County is located next to Mars somewhere behind the Milky Way. Marijuana is being sold all over the State of Washington now, anyone over the age of 21 can go and buy it. Yet im a criminal because here in Lewis County were still on Mars. Another thing is about my old police web site. Look at the current situation of the police state now. There killing Americans left and right. So my web site was ahead of the cure. And for the Fluoride is not a rant its dead serious. You people do nothing about the issue. The Fluoride is poison and its a drug. People comment and say then do something about it, I have. The police use the end of a gun barrel to keep you Quiet. Making a change is this community means risking your life. Notice all the Sand bags that used to litter the streets of Centralia, notice their gone. Why because I threw them in their face. The fact is I would like to do more to help but the rest of you just stand by and do nothing. Oh and another thing Im also that guy whom did free community service for Centralia by picking up all the litter along Tower Ave. How was i rewarded i had a gun barrel pointed at me by a police officer. I used to be fond of our community now i just see a lost cause. So yeah im the DCE a citizen just like the rest of you. Dont like my opinion then go Fly a kite. I know the rest of ya will do nothing to make a difference.

  3. GuiltyBystander says:

    Ahhh, so Sleeping Giant is aka Dirty Cop Enforcer! I was trying to remember which other poster used to rant about fluoride some time back but couldn’t put a pseudonym to it. Nice work OhHai and DCE/SG, you remain nothing if not entertaining.

Its just best to stay hidden, because id rather not go to jail for capping someone between the eyes for my opinion on the Internet. America is dead you cant see that lady. And as for my job i enjoy making that 500 a day. Yet i still have to compete with illegals who dont have proper bonds and license’s while all the while I do. Also Sharyon wont allow location and name information to be posted due to liability issues. So going there wont work Vanessa Who?

  12. Ladyavalos says:

    Shes American citizen idiot

  13. Ladyavalos says:

    Wow. .that’s my niece really nice to see these awful things while she isn’t even buried have compassion

  14. Emelie says:

    Jolien Brown, you treated her like dirt so get off your attention seeking, got-a-make-up-for-all-the-meaness-cuz-i-am-a-selfish-female-who-doesnt-want-to-go-to-hell act, and get a job. Nobody that knows you buys it.

  15. Ron Green says:

    Darwin Award, that’s a good one. There’s no way a one year old can unbuckled it’s self, that child was ejected from a vehicle only because of her parents negligence period. You can’t defend not properly seating your baby daughter, if your escaping or running from someone, really! Your job is to protect your kid bitch, you go speeding down the road with your kid unrestrained! Yup, mom won the Darwin, good for her. Hopefully this baby recovers and finds a future with real parents.

  16. The Sleeping Giant says:

    Toni, trolls LOL. Go to church yeah right. The churches are loaded with sick Pedophiles and child molesting priests whom hide behind the cloth like a dirty cop hides behind the badge. This person was driving to fast for conditions with a child in the car. And if she was being chased she could of called the cops. Because when seconds count the police are minutes away. Right? Yeah no one will ever know what really happened just like Immigration status. The community is over run with this problem and nothing is being done. Just watched videos of illegals loading drugs into a car in Larado Texas and nothing could be done about it. Wanna come to the US. Do it properly dont come over here and hatch a baby then expect the working class to pay for your vacation. We the people need to form the round up posse and police our town. Even our local police department has failed us on immigration. Yeah its sad the mother died and the baby was hurt. But in this day and age there are to many ants on the ant pile. Only the srong survive. Looks like she won the Darwin Award

  17. Emelie says:

    Jo Brown… you were never nice to her when she was alive.

  18. Emelie says:

    It was a baby girl, BTW and the cop should be more involved if he’s filling out the police report… Breene, that is.

  19. toni says:

    Wow all you trolls need to stay off the internet. You guys need to have some compassion for this girls family. There are many details no one will ever know. Speculations are best done amoung your own friends where they can know and understand your intent. Right now so many of you are coming across as pompous arrogant uncloth idiots. May the child recover and the mother rest in peace to watch over her child. May the rest of you go to church or bow your head to pray for forgiveness.

  20. The Sleeping Giant says:

    Thanks XD. Their here by ill begotten means. In California un documented illegals have now been hired by the city council. These are big issues people. They come over here and use our medical and social services for free. I work for a living and am self employed. I see these people advertise on Craigs list without proper business credentials. The fine is 10,000 dollars for people that get caught. Yet LnI fails to do their jobs. In California they incarcerate people by doing sting operations. I shouldnt have to compete against undocumented workers for a lower wage. Their stealing from me and you and our familys. Often customers call me after an illegal screws up their job and fails to return. I see them at Home Depots trying to work under the table for contractors. I think its time Americans round these people up and deport them since our Government has failed us. Again Thanks XD we have been invaded by criminals that are stealing our social services that working guys like me pay for… Detention and Deportation. Law Enforcement does nothing Except Joe Apario…

  21. XDs says:

    I wish the authorities would state if they are illegal citizens or not.

    Yes, it DOES make a difference!

  22. BleeBloo says:

    Yes, let’s thank the Lord that the swinging of His capricious, mighty, homicidal hand creamed the mother but left the baby alone. Say your prayers or the angry, vengeful Lord of the old testament will get you too.

  23. Debbie says:

    maybe it was an act of God or maybe the baby has a guardian angle? Where was the baby ejected from? Did it go through a window? Maybe she was fleeing from someone and just grabbed the baby and left? These are questions we do not know the answers to. Please dont judge until all the facts are in. I dont know her or her family I am just reading all these posts and its not fair to say these things when you dont know why she was driving fast and the baby was not secure, maybe she didnt have time, maybe she feared for her and her childs life?

  24. wtf? says:

    What does her being illegal have to do with anything? I see “Americans” cramming people/kids in a car un buckled all the time. I doubt it has anything to do with “third world countries” or being “illegal”.

  25. The Sleeping Giant says:

    Anchor baby turned into a cannon baby. Yeah where are her papers. Law Enforcement here is just going along with ICE. And allowing illegals to stay in our communitys without proper citizenship. They have committed felony to get here.

  26. XDs says:

    Was she a legal citizen?
    Mant third world cultures have different practices than here.

  27. joliene brown says:

    to all you people in the world who sit and look down at people who you consider to not be as upstanding or perfect as you…why dont you refrain from assuming cause we all know what happens when you assume stuff. you didnt know her life or anything about what she was going through. she was a beautiful young mother who i knew for many years. she was a good person who may have struggled from time to time but always tried to do what was right. she never would have intentionally hurt anyone especially her own child. sometimes things just happen. this was one of those tragic accidents that took a human life. to place blame or pass judgement is not our job. we should all thank the Lord that he didnt take Kelsie’s beautiful baby girl with her. it was not her time. and i know i will never be as judgmental when i remember the young women who was almost always smiling .especially when she was with her children. so why dont you guys find some other person or shiny thing to sit and conversate about because Kelsie’s family and friends are trying to memorialize her also.

  28. Free Air says:

    I’m guessing booze or pot will be found in the autopsy; Only a guess. Why else would you be so wreckless with a baby?

  29. Annie lindell says:

    Oh… Not to mention the high rate of speed part…. Why speed with ur precious baby in tow?

  30. Annie lindell says:

    She was a baby… An infant. So not a toddler or child who can unbuckle themselves… (in response to previous comment)

  31. LaVay says:

    As a mother of two, both of mine have managed to unbuckle themselves while I was driving. Is anyone taking into consideration that maybe the mother had noticed her child had unbuckled and glanced into the backseat as to why the crash happened in the first place? Im sure she loved her child too but accidents happen! I dont understand how people can be so judgemental!

  32. Shaun Olinger says:

    As a parent, I cannot imagine leaving my child unsecured in a vehicle. I LOVE being a parent. Caring for her, protecting her, teaching her… it’s WONDERFUL! How can ANYONE not take the basic precaution of securing their infant?
