Following the fatal crash, the toddler’s grandfather, Glen Norris, refuted police claims of the deceased child being improperly restrained.
Speaking to Nola.com, Glen said Preston and his parents were returning home from a doctor’s appointment when the crash took place.
A witness, who reportedly removed the toddler from the car, told the grandfather that the child was properly secured in his car seat, Glen told the outlet.

Carson Matranga, a fellow TikToker and friend of the Ordone family, shared a video with his wife, Brielle Matranga, on April 27 with an update on Katelynn and Jaelen’s condition.
Brielle said Katelynn had a very bad concussion and had multiple bones broken during the crash, while Jaelen underwent emergency surgery on one leg and now has rods and pins in it.
“I know you guys looked forward to seeing him every day,” Carson said in the video. “I know that in heaven right now if there’s mud in heaven, he’s probably found it.”
