Emily McDougal - Infant discovered alive in a storm drain after a major car crash

Summary: This past Friday night, there was a major wreck in Texarkana, Arkansas. A truck hit a vehicle, which flipped and an 8-month-old girl was ejected. The survivors searched for the girl, but could not find her. Eventually, a firefighters arrived, and they searched the area around where the crash had taken place. After a while, they heard a sound coming from a storm drain over 24 feet from the site of the wreck. The girl was seemingly unharmed, except for a small wound on her head. The firefighters safely removed her. The authorities have assumed that she rolled into the drain, and are absolutely amazed at the event. Some believe that it could have only been the work of some sort of divine intervention.

Analysis: This article was written on November 28, 2016, by Andreas Preuss to inform readers of the incredible situation that was discovered. I hadn't heard about this happening, and I'm so amazed by how safe the child was. There were so many probabilities that could have affected the wreck and it's impact, and the likeliness of this girl emerging from such a dangerous crash unharmed were very slim. In all of the violence and sadness in our country right now, it's nice to see a very positive outcome in this situation. It's important for us to remember all the civil servants in our community and the things they do for our country.

Synthesis: This is similar to Jessica McClure, an 18 month old girl who fell into a well in her aunt's backyard in 1987. It took the rescue team 58 hours to get her out.

  2. Wow this warms my heart to hear this. I'm beyond happy that this little girl was barely unharmed:). I wonder what the firefighters think about what caused this little girl to be unharmed from this horrific car crash....
