Two young children miraculously survived a car crash that could have easily proven fatal

Two toddlers were filmed walking on the freeway wearing nothing but diapers following a near-fatal car crash.

On Sunday (August 11), the two kids were travelling in Texas with their father down the I-10 when their car collided with another vehicle.

The collision caused the Jeep that the father and two children were in to completely flip over.

While those who witnessed the ordeal feared for the worst, miraculously all three of them survived.

One onlooker filmed the aftermath of the crash where the two young kids – now revealed to be aged one and four – were seen wearing nothing but diapers as they roamed around the freeway.

Their father is seen rushing over to them as another good Samaritan stood by the other child.

It isn’t thought that the children, their father and those in the other car sustained any serious injuries, but as of yesterday (August 14) the Harris County Sheriff’s Office said that the two toddlers remained in hospital.

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez tweeted at the time: “@HCSOTexas deputies responded to a major crash on the main lanes of the East Freeway at Freeport.

“A two-car crash where one of the cars flipped over several times causing ejection.”

The post continued: “The car was occupied by one adult and two children. They are being transported to a hospital. No reported injuries to the occupants in the other car.”

Victor Cordova saw the events unfold and told KTRK-TV that he initially thought the family ‘were dead’.

He’s now sharing a video of the ordeal where the two children were seen on the road in the hopes of raising awareness of the importance of securing children into their car seats.

“For parents, for everybody, even if it’s a short distance, [you need] awareness. To make sure you secure your kids properly,” he told the outlet.

According to ABC 7, the two toddlers’ 25-year-old father could face criminal charges for not restraining his children.

As per child safety laws in Texas, children under eight years old or under 57 inches tall should be restrained in the car, while those older or taller than this must have a seatbelt on.

“First offense fines for not complying with a state’s child passenger safety laws vary from $10 to $500. Some states also use driver’s license points as an additional penalty for noncompliance,” explains the Governors Highway Safety Association.
