Car hits baby buggy
- 13 years ago
A woman stands at the checkout counter of a convenience store in Australia.
Her son lies in a buggy a few feet away.
And then out of nowhere a car crashes through the store window, knocking over the stroller, her baby still inside.
Closed circuit TV's show the impact of the car plowing through shelves... the baby buggy toppled to the ground.
The mother pulls her baby from the buggy... amazingly, unharmed.
(SOUNDBITE) (English) WITNESS, MORGAN BARTA, SAYING:
"Everybody just ran from the streets. People were coming out. There were sirens everywhere, and everyone ran to try and help."
(SOUNDBITE) (English) OWNER OF NEARBY BARBER SHOP, SAM GALOUZIS, SAYING:
"Three thirty in the afternoon, peak hour, and no one got hurt. That is just amazing."
The driver, stunned, sits outside the building after the accident.
Officials say he tested negative for alcohol. Witnesses say he veered off the road to avoid hitting another car.
