Baby Survives As Stroller Falls Off Train Platform

Baby Survives After Stroller Falls Off Australia Train Platform
Friday , October 16, 2009

A six-month-old boy has miraculously survived a train slamming into his stroller after it rolled off an Australian railway platform.

The collision happened as a city-bound service pulled up to Ashburton station, in a Melbourne suburb.

A security video shows the boy's mother taking her hands off the stroller's handles and failing to notice as it slowly edged toward the tracks.

The mom suddenly spots the baby stroller picking up speed and she rushes with outstretched arms to try to save her young child, but the stroller tips over the edge of the platform and the baby slams onto the tracks head first.

Before the boy can be rescued, the train powers past, horrifying the mother and other waiting passengers.

The footage ends with the frantic mom and a man running up to the driver, who has just stopped the 250-ton vehicle.

Australia's Herald Sun said the train ploughed into the stroller, dragging the child along beneath the train's front car.

But the boy was hauled from the tracks with little more than a bump on his head.

Paramedic Jon Wright said the six-month-old just "needed a feed and a nap".

"Luckily, he was strapped into his pram at the time, which probably saved his life. I think the child's extremely lucky," the paramedic told the paper. "Fortunately the train was slowing as it pulled into the station."

Nobody should ever dream of harming the mother for not having realized that the trolly was moving!! She for sure got the fright of her life and I am utterly happy that the child survived this!!

@pekis22

I think they were all in shock,and if somebody is screaming as for sure this mother would have done, you might not think it good to offer comfort right way,I do understand how you mean it though for I think like you that had I been there I would have run up to be close to her and not just stand,but I think it happened so fast, what we see actually happened in a few seconds time,only to us it seemed enless, I am so reliefed that this child´s life was protected and it is safe!!

@torturedsoul213 LOL well aren't you superstitious.

[BlueGama600]

lol what a dumb bitch. I saw this on the news at home and she was like "I only looked away for a second" BULLSHIT. It was DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF HER yet she still didn't notice because she was on her phone. She had about 3 seconds to react as it slowly rolled away.

What a dumb fuck. Someone kill her.
