Those are some amazing pictures TMC. Amazing that anyone survived that. Prayers to the mom and baby. Excellent work by the FD's and Metro. Good care all the way around.

Does this mean they found mom in the backseat with the baby?
I heard on the 6pm news that mom didn't have her seat belt on.
I probably should have written it this way ( with her baby, who was fully restrained in the back seat. )
I apologize for that.
Im sure the fog had a part in this, in the pictures it is foggy. Having a new Grand Daughter it is chilling to see this. and I have been in the fire service for 22 years.

This story is about my cousin's fiance and their son. Matthew is fine, he was not harmed. The mother is still in ICU.
I HOPE THAT SHE RECOVERS OK, I WENT TO SCHOOL W. HER AND WE WERE BEST FRIENDS FOR THE LONGEST TIME I JUST RECENTLY HAVNT TALKED TO HER FOR ABOUT 5 MONTHS AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS EARLIER TODAY. IM GLAD TO HEAR THAT MATTHEW IS OK AND I HOPE SHE GETS BETTER SOON AND HOPE HER FAMILY IS DOING OK.
This is Brittney, this is my accident I recovered fine and my son is perfect as can be. Thank you to everyone who showed that they have cared. I did not have my seat belt on but my son was safely strapped in. I have no idea why I pulled into the path of this truck, I'm assuming the fog was to strong and i didn't see this truck.
