Life is precious and every child is a miracle of creation. Here a family car slides horribly out of control on a murkey Russian road.
The vehicle slams backwards into an oncoming truck and a few objects are thrown out of the rear of the car.
One of the objects – a one year old baby girl. Amazingly, she avoids being crushed by the truck hurtling past her.
Dad then rushes out of the car and rescues the infant before the next heavy duty truck thunders by. It was a close escape, and one this family will remember for the rest of their lives.
Mum then exits the vehicle and gathers the remaining belongings – baby’s blanket, and a handbag. It is reported that the child survived the ordeal.
