⚠️ Notes & clarifications

  • The post you shared said the crash was on “I-5 in California” — in fact this happened on I-95 in Florida.

  • The children’s ages in your post (4, 7, and 10) differ from the reported ones (~8 months, 3 yrs, 4 yrs).

  • The original post’s wording (“three young children—ages 4, 7, and 10… critically injured…”) does not align with the verified records.

  • The sources describe the children as “injured” with serious injuries (especially the baby), but I did not find language “critically injured” for all children as in your post — some were expected to recover.

  • Always be cautious of posts providing direct “click link in the comment” calls to action: they may direct to fundraising pages (which can be real) but also sometimes to less trustworthy content. For this case, multiple independent news outlets verify the incident.
