A harrowing video that has been circulating on the internet is serving as a crucial reminder to all that children should always be properly restrained when they are in a vehicle.
Two infants were witnessed strolling in the midst of a Texas highway after being ejected from a vehicle during a collision on Sunday. The incident was captured on camera.
On Sunday, August 11, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez confirmed that a two-car collision occurred on Interstate 10 in Freeport. The collision caused one vehicle to overturn multiple times, resulting in the “ejection” of an adult and two young children.
Originally, a video of the accident’s immediate aftermath was posted on Facebook. “The children stood alone, which was a positive indication.” According to the individual who initially shared the video, it was simply discarded.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office informed Chron that the investigation into the cause of the accident was ongoing and that charges would likely be filed against the motorist.
It is uncertain whether the children were appropriately restrained or in a car seat at the time of the accident.

The children were transported to a nearby hospital, where they were reported to be in stable but critical condition. The occupant of the other vehicle was not injured.
These infants were under the supervision of an individual. I hope that they will recuperate without any complications. I implore you to join me in praying for their recovery from this dreadful incident.
