Following the crash two men were seen running towards the dazed toddlers and rushing them to safety.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office told Chron the investigation into the cause of the crash remained open and charges would likely be filed against the driver.
It’s unclear if the children were in a car seat or properly restrained at the time of the accident.
The children were taken to a nearby hospital where they were said to be in serious, but stable condition. The occupant of the other vehicle was not injured.
Someone was watching out for these babies. I pray that they will recover without any issues. Please join me and pray for their recovery from this horrible accident.
