Harris County Freeway Accident Leaves Toddlers Hospitalized
A harrowing incident on the I-10 East Freeway in Harris County has resulted in serious injuries for two young children, ages one and four, after they were ejected from a Jeep during a multi-vehicle crash on Sunday.
Details of the Crash
The crash, captured on video by a bystander, shows the terrifying moment when the two toddlers, still in diapers, were found sitting in the middle of the freeway. The video also captures the children’s father, who was driving the Jeep, running towards them in a desperate attempt to ensure their safety. The footage has since been shared widely as a stark reminder of the importance of securing children in vehicles properly.
