A baby's survival instinct against all odds.

In China, a miracle baby was born during an accident when a motorcycle collided with a truck, killing his mum and dad. The pregnant woman and her husband were on their way to hospital after the mother began feeling abdominal pains on Tuesday morning.

One traffic police officer at the scene spotted the squalling baby lying five meters away from the body of his mum. 

He and his fellow officers rescued the fragile newborn, very much in awe of the miracle and the greatness of life.

A hospital spokesman said the baby, who weighs 9lb 2oz (4.2kg), is in a stable condition, although he is suffering many injuries to his head and body as well as lung contusion, which can be life-threatening.

Poor little baby. Yet, the need for survival drove him to come into this life against all odds. He'll never feel his mother's love or his father's support.

But, if he survives, he'll enjoy a long life.

New projections from the Office for National Statistics show that between 1/3 and 2/3 of the current generation of babies will live for at least a century.

Meanwhile members of the baby boomer generation, who are retiring at this moment, can look forward to living 50% longer than their parents’ generation. Surviving until the age of 90 will be standard for both sexes. Men born just after the end of the Second World War will gain an extra seven years in retirement, in comparison with those who retired 30 years ago. Women have gained almost six years extra life expectancy. The decline of heavy industry and major changes in lifestyles, which includes a drop in smoking, has helped narrow the gender gap.

So what sort of future lies ahead for the little accident survivor? Let's hope a member of his family offers the love and support he lost from his parents.

Let's hope that he receives the love and support to survive in this cruel world and not be denied that after overcoming so many odds already!
