A family of three were travelling home from a vacation when the vehicle drove down a 12-metre embankment in western Alberta, Canada. 

It is reported little Lexi Shymanski managed to crawl out of the wreckage and flag down a motorist who alerted emergency workers. 

The mum, Angela who was the driver of the vehicle, sustained spinal injuries and extensive internal injuries while her 10-week-old brother, Peter suffered minor swelling of the brain. 

Paramedics reached the car by using a rope system and the family was airlifted to hospital.

An initiative has been launched on GoFundMe to help raise funds for the family following the incident.
