Video: Baby escapes death twice

 

Wednesday 23 January 2013

A baby girl narrowly escaped death twice after a car crash threw her from the vehicle and into the face of oncoming traffic.

The harrowing footage from Russia shows the one-year-old getting hurled from the car when the back of the vehicle she was travelling in was hit by a lorry.

The child landed in the middle of the road and miraculously avoiding getting hit by oncoming lorries before she was quickly rescued.
