Toddlers Rescued After Surviving for 2 Days After Car Crash Killed Mother in Arkansas

A pair of toddlers — ages 3 and 1 — were found alone near a highway in Arkansas roughly two days after surviving a single-car crash killing their mother.

The Ouachita County Sheriff’s Department said it has identified a 3-year-old child they found wandering near a highway in Camden, which is about 100 miles southwest of Little Rock, reports CBS affiliate KTHV.

After returning to the scene where the toddler was found, police discovered a car laying on its side in a ravine not visible from the highway, said KTHV. Inside the car, they found the 1-year-old fastened in a car seat.

The driver of the car, the toddlers’ mother, was reportedly ejected from the vehicle and died.

The one-year-old was taken to Arkansas Children’s Hospital and treated for non-life-threatening conditions including possible dehydration, reports ABC affiliate KATV in Little Rock.
