Baby survives being hit by train


By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MELBOURNE, Australia - Police in Australia say a 6-month-old baby has miraculously survived a train hitting his stroller that had rolled onto the tracks.

The train pushed the stroller about 130 feet (40 metres) along the tracks before it stopped.

Security video footage released Friday shows the mother looking away for a moment when the stroller suddenly rolls off the edge of a station platform and onto the tracks. The mother panics as she looks back and sees the oncoming train hit the stroller, but the baby boy survived with only minor injuries.

Victoria state Police Sergeant Michael Ferwerda called Thursday's incident a "lucky escape" and said people should be cautious in train stations.

As a parent, this takes my breath away.  Can't even imagine.

Insanely lucky both mom and baby are okay.
 
Amazing.  Guess Mom will keep a better grip on that stroller from now on.  :nod:

Curious note:  Are the train platforms slanted??
