Mackenzie Bessner- Infant ejected from car is found alive in storm drain


Rescuers of an infant who was ejected from a car during a crash in Arkansas and found alive with only a scratch some 25-feet away from the scene is "some kind of divine intervention." The 8-month old girl and her family were involved in a crash along Interstate 30 in Texarkana, Arkansas, Friday after a truck apparently sideswiped their automobile while making an unsafe lane change. The family vehicle flipped over and the 8-month old girl was ejected. In the moments following the crash, survivors searched in vain for the little girl. To their amazement, searchers found the infant inside a nearby storm drain, alive and reaching up to them.

After I read this article, I was very shocked. It was honestly a miracle that this 8-month old child was alive and well with only one scratch after being catapulted out of a car. I think that this article was published to inform readers and the audience about driving safely and sufficiently. The driver of the truck was cited for an improper and unsafe lane change. The infant was also not properly restrained in the car seat at the time of the accident. This shows the audience that they have the ability to stop this from happening and to ensure safety while on the road to their family, friends and themselves. This article was published by CNN, a reliable news network.
