Wobbling van can't rouse girl, 2, inside(China Daily)Updated: 2007-02-08 08:51 A 2-year-old girl, accidentally left in a locked van in Hong Kong, couldn't be awakened even though four firemen wobbled the vehicle from side to side. Then the panicking adults remembered they had another set of keys at home. The incident took place last Sunday at 1:45 pm in a street in Wanchai District. The parents left both the child and the key in the van as they ran errands, forgetting the doors automatically lock in minutes. A crowd gathered, a rescue team arrived was summoned, an ambulance arrived with siren and reporters came to cover the news. But the girl remained sound asleep despite the commotion and wobble.
