WOW! Baby Survives Being Run Over By A Train!!!!

-(reporter) A young mother arrives at Ashburton Station. In the windy weather, she fusses over her child and even pulls the pram away from the edge of the platform, but doesn't apply the brake. And, in a split second, her 6-month-old boy rolls off the platform and into the path of a train. -It's a miracle this baby wasn't killed. And the baby somehow managed to escape with just a cut to the forehead, we've been told. So, it's an absolute miracle. -(reporter) The city-bound train comes to a stop 30 meters further along the tracks. The baby underneath, shielded only by the pram. -That's played a great role in making sure this baby survived yesterday's incident. -(reporter) The mother and child are taken to the hospital, but released soon afterwards, shaken, but unhurt. Police say the mother did nothing wrong. Chronix workers back at the scene find the pram in pieces and belongings scattered as far along as the second carriage. Transit police say signage and supervision on railway platforms are already adequate, but that incidents like yesterday's are a startling reminder of how easily tragedies can happen. -Parents especially know to be vigilant, especially with toddlers. They tend to wonder off, especially with multiple kids as well. The incident came just a day after the launch of a public awareness campaign warning of the dangers of prams on platforms. -The potential for disaster is huge, and then the very next day this happens. -(reporter) Dean Felton, Seven News.
