(SALEM) - On Friday, shortly after 8:00 PM a four-month old infant was taken to the Salem Hospital Emergency Room by his mother, Raquel Salizar-Olmos, where he is currently receiving treatment for multiple trauma type injuries over his body.

Marion County Sheriff’s spokesman Kevin Rau says hospital staff called the Sheriff’s Office to report injuries and an investigation ensued.

Mrs. Olmos told investigators that she was at her home at 4647 Indiana Ave NE in Salem when she discovered that her infant son had stopped breathing.

She said she picked the child up and ran to the street in front of her house and flagged down a car which took them to Salem Hospital.

She said she did not know the identity of the man that gave her the ride and that he left the area immediately after dropping them off Rau said.

She only described the vehicle as a car but gave little more detail.

The child’s health took a turn for the worse yesterday and at this hour doctors are keeping the infant alive through artificial means. They believe the child’s death is imminent Rau said.

Detectives are continuing to investigate leads as they develop.

Investigators need to talk to the man that drove Mrs. Olmos and her child to Salem Hospital.

They are asking that he and anyone with information about this case call Detective Tyler Chapman at (503) 566-6910.
