The seat belt was getting tighter and tighter and was squeezing his stomach causing him to be in great pain. (I have pictures) a good samaritian came and tried to help and he stated that the seat belt had locked after trying for so long to get the belt to release my grand son began to cry he could no longer endure the pain to his stomach.
