WORLD : Baby’s Survival Called ‘Miracle’
Australian doctors are proclaiming a Christmas miracle after a 9-month-old baby survived when her baby carriage was crushed by a train.
The child’s carriage rolled away from her mother at a Perth suburban railway station Tuesday morning. It fell on the track in front of a city-bound train, which was unable to stop.
“If you want a Christmas miracle, here it is,” a hospital spokeswoman said today.
“The train apparently picked up the (carriage) and dragged it along underneath before it could stop,” the spokeswoman said. “The pusher probably protected the child from further injury.”
The baby, Sara Gillies, was admitted to a hospital with a fractured skull and cuts. She came out of intensive care today.
