A race to save two toddlers on a Texas highway. Units are also that. Major accident off of East Freeway. Shocking video showing the children wearing nothing but diapers, stranded in the middle of the roadway after police say they were ejected from a Jeep, two unidentified people running to get them out of harm's way. The crash taking place on Interstate 10 in Houston.

The cause of the accident between the two vehicles is still under investigation right now. The investigation has proven that the two children were not in car seats at all. When that vehicle, the Jeep Wrangler, began to roll, and both toddlers were rejected out, a four-year-old and a one-year-old.

According to the Sheriff, the two children and their father who was driving were transported to the hospital in serious condition but are expected to survive. The driver of the other car was not hurt. That father could face criminal charges.

They were toddlers, four and one-year-old, and it is against state law to not have anyone under that age not in a car seat of some type. Evidently, from what we have, they were just sitting in the back of the vehicle, not strapped into anything.
