and miraculously, the baby was not even scratched. This video is pretty unreal.

    A father should always be a hero in his child's eyes, but this man is a hero in mine as well. God bless him with a full and speedy recovery.

    Dad gets huge props for keeping grip on that kid, that said.....he should have played the lottery that day. if that car angled a foot in either direction the results would have been worse.

    noticed the dad also stepped back just enough, that helped. even a few inches off that could have been real bad.

    Christ that looked scary! shows us how fragile life is, all it takes is one jackhole who can not control his car to the point of avoiding pedestrians on a sidewalk without hitting them at full speed. WTF could have caused him to do that? (I didnt get audio on the vid)

    Wow you're right! She must've died cause if she survived that, I think it would of been more of a miracle than the baby...

    I'm curious, how does one lose control of their vehicle like that? I have been driving for 25 years and apart from my own recklessness on SNOW I have always been in control of my vehicle.

    The car was driven by a 82yo lady who had a heart attack while driving. The lady pushing the pram is the grand mother. She and the grand farther who was also hit both survived after a long stay in hospital. Truely a miracle. It would be hard to watch if you knew some one died.
