WACO, Texas— Waco police say two women and a baby have survived falling about 30 feet from an Interstate 35 overpass after being hit by a vehicle during rainy weather.
Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton says the infant suffered minor injuries in the fall after a traffic accident Monday. Police believe the mother holding her baby shielded the child from the impact. Both women were seriously hurt.
Swanton says wet roads contributed to an accident involving two vehicles and both women. They got out and stood on the overpass. One held a baby.
Swanton says a second traffic accident happened, pushing a pickup truck into the trio and knocking them off the bridge.
One woman landed on I-35. The other hit a sidewalk. Swanton had no immediate details on who held the baby.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas— Heavy rain in Corpus Christi has delayed efforts to lift a boil water advisory issued last week due to low chlorine disinfectant levels in supplies.
City officials on Tuesday extended the boil water advisory as testing continues on water supplies.
The Corpus Christi area has received more than a foot of rain since Sunday in storms that led to street flooding and high-water rescues.
A city statement says the rain complicated water sampling and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality required the boil water advisory to stay in effect.
Corpus Christi officials say no E.coli has been detected in the city's water supply.
