An 8-month-old girl has survived being thrown 25 feet and landing in a storm drain after the car she was a passenger in was clipped by an 18-wheeler in Texarkana, Arkansas.
According to KSLA, the incident occurred after the car was side-swiped by a truck changing lanes.
Initially, first responders were unable to locate the young girl at the scene. However, while searching through the thick grass of the median, they heard a noise coming from a storm drain. After lifting up the hay covering the drain, they were astonished to find the child sitting upright and uninjured bar a scratch on her forehead.
Texarkana firefighter Josh Moore said: “The baby … was sitting up and looking up at us waiting for us to pull her out. She wasn’t screaming, she wasn’t crying, she was just in their waiting for us.”
Speaking with KSLA, authorities said the infant’s car seat was improperly installed and that she wasn’t restrained properly either. The truck driver received a citation after making an improper and unsafe lane change.
