Apparently her foot slipped off the brake. She must have been either not paying attention or possibly speeding (in stop start traffic) for that kind of impact.
Maybe on the phone?

While it in no way excuses the seat belt failure , I can't help wondering why a child was in the front seat when presumably a back seat was available .
Good point. All of those hypothetical scenarios are known to cause seat belt anchoring bolts to fail.
Rear seat is always a much safer place to sit. Our girls never travelled in the front passenger seat.
Children under 12 should be seated in the rear, not in the front, where possible - but it is only a recommendation.....
