Aug 01, 2018 by apost team

A baby somehow survived being torn out of her mother’s womb and landing on the grass following a horrific traffic accident. The pregnant mother was in the passenger seat of a truck that was carrying a load of wood planks. When the driver of the truck lost control, the vehicle capsized on the road, throwing the mother out of the truck’s cabin. She was crushed by the planks of wood the truck was hauling. The incident happened in Brazil, near Cajati.

The impact of the wreck literally tore her baby out of the womb, severing the umbilical cord. The baby was thrown onto the grass along the road and was discovered by medics who heard her crying. The Daily Mail reported the shocking story.

The medics who arrived on the scene came across the baby just meters away from the mother. The newborn was rushed to the hospital for treatment but was found to be uninjured. However, the umbilical cord was completely severed when she was torn from her mother’s womb during the crash. The little baby was taken in at Pariquera-Acu regional hospital and is being cared for in the neonatal intensive care ward.

According to tabloids, the mother was already 39 weeks pregnant at the time of the crash. She was traveling alone and without documentation which is making it difficult for police and social services to track down her family or identify her. They are still searching for any information that could lead to her identification. Authorities are asking the relatives of the woman and child to please step forward. However, if they cannot find information on their identity, the woman will be buried and listed as unidentified.

The baby will be taken care of at an orphanage.

The paramedics on the scene spoke to reporters concerning the accident. Elton Fernando Barbosa was one of the first responders on the scene and gave local tabloids and interview. He described it as very serious. Elton stated that he first provided first aid to the driver before being directed to look for the deceased woman. He said he was searching for the fatal victim when he heard a baby crying nearby. He was shocked as there had been no reports of a third passenger. When he spotted the baby a few meters away from the mom, he called for an ambulance as quickly as he could.

Elton says it is a true miracle that the baby actually survived. He believes it was an act of God that saved her, especially after seeing the mother underneath the planks of wood. He was saddened by the fact that the mother was unable to be saved but happy to learn that the baby lived. The hospital staff named the baby Giovanna, meaning “Protected by God.”

According to police reports, Jonathan Ferreira, the driver, is being charged with manslaughter. He has stated that he did not know the woman and was only giving her a ride at the time of the accident.
