A toddler is the lone survivor following a deadly crash in Wisconsin between a van and tractor-trailer that left nine people dead, including seven members of an Amish community, according to reports.

The crash happened Friday on Highway 95 in western Wisconsin, southeast of Eau Claire, the Clark County Sheriff’s Office said.

A 2-year-old boy survived after he was thrown from the van and rescued by a good Samaritan who witnessed the vehicle turn into the path of the semi-truck at an intersection, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. 

“I think God put me there for a reason,” Nathaniel Jahn told the newspaper of being able to save the child.
