Hello dear,welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I don't think that hernia is caused by seat belt. It is from congenital deffect.
Maybe incarceration happened due to trauma of abdomen.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
