Disturbing video showed two toddlers wearing nothing but nappies stranded in the middle of a Texas highway after they were thrown from a car that flipped over several times.
The footage, shared on X, shows the two toddlers standing up and walking around seemingly unharmed after the accident, which took place when the vehicle they were riding in collided with another on the Interstate 10 East Freeway in Freeport, Texas on Sunday night, the New York Post reports.
“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,” Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez wrote on X.
An adult can be seen comforting one of the toddlers while another person runs up to the other, eventually picking them up and holding them in their arms.
The car the children were ridding in can be seen flipped upside down in the background.
It was not immediately clear if either of the toddlers were in car seats at the time of the collision.
The adult and two children were transported to a local hospital for treatment, HCSO Senior Deputy Thomas Gilliland told The Post on Tuesday.
All three were in good condition, he said.
The driver of the other vehicle, the only occupant involved, was not injured, officials said.
“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,” he added.
