ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. - A woman and her twin 8-month-old babies are safe at home Thursday thanks to good Samaritans who jumped into action after a terrifying car crash on Interstate 44 Wednesday. 

"I heard screeching. There was a car just flying from the highway over the fence, and I and I said, 'Oh, that's not good at all,'" Lindsay Cross said.

Surveillance video caught the crash on camera, and a man could be seen running toward the accident.

"When I was exiting the door, the car was kind of still rolling on it's side," Dustin Pluth said.

When he got to the car, he could see all the windows broken and a woman tangled in the driver's seat.

"Had to take her seatbelt off, pull her out of the wreckage, and she was saying that she had kids, and I could see kids and kids were crying. Definitely newborn kids," Pluth said.

He began cutting off the seatbelts of the car seats and pulled the babies out of the sunroof, handing them to Cross.

"They were hysterical—absolutely hysterical—they don't know what's going on. They're babies," Cross said.

She brought the mom and babies inside to get warm while Pluth and others pulled out their belongings.

"We were looking for binkies for the babies because she's like, 'I don't know where anything is; I don't have anything.' One of our other employees here had a bag of baby stuff in his car, so we had multiple things for them to choose from," Cross added.

Both Cross and Pluth said years of training helped them know what to do.

"We train for intense, uncertain situations, and my team responded accordingly. This is what we do: help people in need. So I was very proud of them," owner of martial arts school Xtreme Krav Maga Steve Sulze said.
