No names have been released, but officials say the family is from Hope, AR. Texarkana, AR police have since confirmed that the car seat, which was found outside the vehicle when first responders arrived, was not properly installed and that the child was not properly restrained in the seat at the time of the crash. There were no citations related to the lack of proper child restraints, however. ||||| In what many are calling a miracle, an 8-month-old baby girl was found alive and safe after she was ejected during a car crash and ended up in a storm drain 25 feet away, according to KSLA. 
 
 On Friday night, a truck reportedly sideswiped a car on Interstate 30 in Texarkana, Arkansas, which led to the infant’s ejection. The family vehicle flipped over and after the crash, survivors could not find the infant. 
 
 First responders told KSLA they heard a noise near a patch of hay in the center divider, and found the child inside a storm drain. 
 
 “The baby … was sitting up and looking up at us waiting for us to pull her out,” Texarkana firefighter Josh Moore said, later adding, “There had to be some kind of divine intervention for her to end up being OK.” 
 
 Authorities believe the child rolled down a hill and into the drain, and it took three firefighters to get her out, according to KSLA. The infant and four others in the car were taken to the hospital. The little girl suffered one minor injury and all others were released from the hospital soon after, except for the driver, who is still recovering from the crash. 
 
 One first responder got emotional thinking about the miracle of finding the child alive and well. 
 
 “So many times, we go out and things aren’t OK…and just during the holidays here to have a positive just feels good,” fellow rescuer Texarkana Fire Capt. Charlie Smith said. 
 
 Police determined that the child’s car seat was not properly secured at the time of the crash, but no one was charged, according to KSLA. The driver of the truck that allegedly sideswiped the family vehicle, however, was cited for an improper and unsafe lane change, according to KSLA. ||||| Story highlights Infant ejected from car during crash

– Some are calling it a Thanksgiving miracle, per People. Police say an 18-wheeler clipped a car on Interstate 30 in Texarkana, Ark., around 7pm Friday, causing the vehicle to flip and an 8-month-old girl to be ejected. Her car seat was found outside the vehicle, but the infant wasn't in it, reports CNN. Firefighters who feared they were on a recovery mission were later searching a patch of hay within the interstate median when a sound directed them to a small storm drain barely visible about 25 feet from the crash site. Inside, the infant "was sitting up and looking up at us waiting for us to pull her out," a firefighter tells KSLA. "She wasn't screaming, she wasn't crying, was just sitting there waiting for us" with a scratch on her forehead, he adds. Firefighters believe the infant rolled down a hill and into the storm drain. Incredibly, she was taken to a hospital and found to have suffered only a minor injury. "There had to be some kind of divine intervention for her to end up being OK," the firefighter says. Authorities say the child wasn't properly secured in her car seat, which itself wasn't properly installed in the car, but police issued no citations over that. None of the four others from the car suffered serious injuries, while the driver of the 18-wheeler has been cited for an improper lane change.
