Original story:

A Lexington family of four survived a single-car crash on I-95 today, after the 15-month-old boy in the car, who was at first believed by state police to have died, was revived at Norwood Hospital, according to a MyFox Boston report.

The boy is said to be in stable condition Saturday night and apparently still has severe injuries. He has been moved to Children's Hospital in Boston.

Besides the 15-month-old, two adults and a 5-year old boy were also in the car, according to NECN, when the 2007 Honda went off the road. 

All lanes of a southbound stretch of I-95 were closed in the early afternoon after the incident, and backed up traffic for hours.
