Motorists were left horrified as they witnessed two toddlers, dressed only in nappies, teetering dangerously along the motorway after being thrown from a car during a horrific crash. The terrifying incident took place on Interstate 10’s East Freeway at Freeport in Texas, where a two-car collision resulted in one vehicle rolling over multiple times, ejecting an adult and two small children onto the road.
The distressing scene has sparked widespread outrage online, with many blaming the parents. Footage captured reveals one toddler struggling to stand while the other appears dazed and confused.
Fortunately, neither child appeared to have suffered life-threatening injuries, but authorities are investigating. Social media users have been quick to criticise the parents for what appears to be a failure to secure the children properly in car seats.
The video has gone viral across the internet. Comments range from relief that the children miraculously survived to anger, with calls for the parents’ arrest for potential neglect, according to Mirror US.
“This video will make any parents heart completely sink,” commented an Instagram user.
Another insisted: “Driver should be charged for child endangerment! ” Meanwhile, a commenter suggested: “Not putting your kids in child seats and seatbelts should be a federal crime.”
“God must’ve been watching over these kids because they’re still alive and they’re walking. Thank you God for watching over your children. Amen,” a relieved viewer exclaimed in gratitude, while another succinctly voiced relief: “Thank god the kids are okay.”
