2 toddlers in diapers walked away uninjured after being thrown from a Jeep that flipped on a Texas highway.

Deputy Sheriff:

"Deputies responded to a major crash on the main lanes of the East Freeway at Freeport. It was a two-car crash where one of the vehicles flipped over several times, resulting in the ejection of the 2 children.

The car was occupied by one adult and 2 children. They are being transported to a hospital. No injuries were reported for the occupants in the other vehicle."

The incident reportedly occurred on the Interstate 10 East Freeway in Freeport, Texas.

This is a huge fear of mine with my two little ones but seriously I gotta ask, were they not in car seats?! Or did the carseats fail somehow from the roll over?

Right? No way in hell my 10 month old could get loose from her car seat even if I rolled it. Those harnesses are intense.

Seriously, I'm constantly looking in the rear view to make sure the harnesses aren't strangling them because they're so tight.

Here I get upset when I see folks driving around with their dogs untethered in pickups or on the driver's lap. Kids just loose in the back of a vehicle?! I mean, that's how I grew up, but I'm glad those days are gone.

Good to hear that they are okay.

I believe that children that age have a special toughness that they lose as they get older. How many times have you seen them fall and hit their heads? Such a loud bang.

If I hit my head like that, I would be in serious trouble.

It must be nature's way of ensuring the survival of the species.

Maybe it was better they weren’t in this case? 🤷‍♂️ They were sure very lucky and pops needs to stop by the gas station to get a lottery ticket if that’s a thing on the other side of the pond.

No, I'm gonna say they'd have been safer in a car seat.
