By Cindy Heflin

A baby born to a Jackson woman who died as the result of crash Saturday on I-94 has died at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor, the Jackson Citizen-Patriot reported.

Miranda Cole was born about an hour after the crash at Allegiance Health in Jackson. Her mother, Sara Cole, died from injuries suffered in the crash. Born with no heartbeat, Miranda Cole was taken to Mott, but her father, Chad Cole, told the Citizen-Patriot she had little brain activity and was on life support.

State Police confirmed the baby died today, the Citizen-Patriot said.

A semitrailer struck the back of the van in which Cole and his wife, Sara Cole, were riding. The van, also carrying Sara Cole’s parents, had stopped to the side of the road as vehicles crashed in front of it.

Such a tragic story. The inspiration and faith that Chad Cole continues to show throughout this whole ordeal is absolutely inspiring. My heart breaks for him, his family, their friends, and the doctors and staff at Mott - I'm sure they've all done all they could to save little Miranda. Please check out their event on Facebook..it's under Pray for Baby Miranda- over 30,000 people have joined (myself included) and are sharing words of hope, faith, encouragement, and caring-- it is simply amazing to see all those pull in tight around this family during their time of need. God Bless the Cole Family.
