In a frightening and miraculous scene caught on tape, a toddler is ejected from an SUV as it does a barrel roll. The 18-month-old girl lands on the road and then picks herself up and starts walking back to the car. Thankfully, she did not suffer any major injuries, reports BuzzFeed. The SUV was being chased at high speed by a police officer in Lubbock, Texas.

Inside the car were four teenagers, including the toddler's parents, who police say had just committed an armed robbery. They were arrested in a nearby back yard, and the little girl was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, reports Texas affiliate KRIS TV. (More toddler stories.)
