Praying for a miracle tonight as a 3 year old Robertson County girl fights for her life.
Fox 17's Erika Kurre tells us she's a victim of a fatal head-on collision on Highway 41 last night that killed her grandmother and the driver of the other car as well.
The three year old clings to life as her mother undergoes surgery.
According to Springfield Police, Megan Bouge was driving her mother and two children Wyncie and two week old Emmett home from dinner.
That's when another driver, Mandricus Darden, crossed the 5-lane highway and crashed into them head-on.
Megan's husband Brandon had just returned to work from paternity leave.
The family's pastor says Brandon Bouge has put his trust in God during this difficult time.
Brandon and Megan Bouge will likely be out of work for quite some time as their family recovers.
Friends have created a fund to help with medical and living expenses.
You can make a donation at any Regions Bank to the "Bouge Family Assistance Fund."

2 appellate court judges are stepping down
May 24, 2013 21:29 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Two Tennessee appellate court judges have notified Gov. Bill Haslam that they will not run for another term on the bench in the August 2014 retention election.
Patricia J. Cottrell, a judge on the Court of Appeals, and Joseph M. Tipton, who sits on the Court of Criminal Appeals bench, will both leave after September of next year.
The announcements come after the state legislature left Tennessee without a way to replace judges who step down or die when a commission expires at the end of next month.
Members of the soon-to-be-defunct Judicial Nominating Commission will make recommendations for replacements to give to Haslam before the panel expires. Haslam will appoint the replacements from those recommendations.
