Toddlers in diapers teeter busy highway: Watch video

The two-car collision occurred on Interstate 10's East Freeway at Freeport where one of the vehicles was impacted severely. It flipped several times following the accident and the two children and one adult were flung out of the car right on the street. The goosebump-raising footage showed one of the toddlers struggling to stand on the road as the other one looked in confusion. The two were then saved by the onlookers present at the scene.

The children are safe and did not suffer any injuries. However, it is yet to be confirmed if the kids were locked in their car seats or if a car seat was even present in the vehicle.

Netizens react to the horrific sight

The gut-wrenching video of the two babies in danger quickly went viral on social media platforms. Netizens’ reactions largely ranged from anger towards the parents to expressing concern for the safety of the kids. One user on X wrote, “God was watching over those children,” while another was grateful for kids' safety and wrote, “his toddlers must not have been in car seats. A miracle! God is good!”

A third user wrote, “Their parent didn't care enough to look out for them, but God did.”

A user wrote, “Very sad to see those kids out on the highway like that but happy they're alive and hopefully well. I don't know what the law is in TX regards to securing infants in car seats within vehicles, but officials need to look into what this parent(?) did to secure those children,” while another user wrote, “My gosh how scary. This is hard to watch.”
