BABY CHEATS DEATH AS FORKLIFT FALLS ON PRAM

London, United Kingdom
Thursday, 7 Dec 2000

DUKINFIELD, England -- A nine-week-old girl is lucky to have escaped death when a forklift fell onto her pram on a busy Manchester street.

News service Ananova.com said Jolie Smith was unhurt when a forklift fell from the back of a truck and landed on her pram on December 1.

The child is now described as a "miracle baby", after having survived a complicated birth when her heart stopped beating while she was still in her mother's womb.

"Jolie was gurgling away as if nothing had happened. She didn't even cry," the baby's mother said. Both parents were treated for shock.
