A frightening video making the rounds on the internet is an important reminder to everyone that children should always be properly restrained when they are in a vehicle.
Two toddlers were captured on camera walking in the middle of a Texas highway after being thrown from a vehicle during a crash Sunday.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez confirmed a two-car crash occurred on Sunday, August 11 on Interstate 10 in Freeport, causing one vehicle to flip several times, “ejecting” an adult and two small children.
A video of the accident’s immediate aftermath was originally shared on Facebook.
“The kids stood alone, a good sign. Just scrapped up,” the person who originally shared the video wrote.
@dailymail Two toddlers in their diapers were seen tottering on a Texas freeway after being thrown from a car that flipped over several times during a crash. Police confirmed that a two-car crash had occurred, causing one of them to flip several times, 'ejecting' an adult and the two young children. Footage from the scene shows one of the diaper-wearing babies trying to regain their balance and stand up while another looked around. Neither appeared to be badly injured. It is unclear if either was in a car seat or properly restrained at the time of the accident, the cause of which remains under investigation. #news #texas #babies #children #crash ♬ empathy – insensible
Following the crash, two men were seen running towards the dazed toddlers and rushing them to safety.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office told Chron the investigation into the cause of the crash remained open and charges would likely be filed against the driver.
It’s unclear if the children were in a car seat or properly restrained during the accident.
The children were taken to a nearby hospital where they were said to be in serious, but stable condition. The occupant of the other vehicle was not injured.
Someone was watching out for these babies. I pray that they will recover without any issues. Please join me and pray for their recovery from this horrible accident.
