“The 27th On April 1, Wayne and Lindy Baker were seriously injured after their truck was hit by an EF-4 tornado in Marietta, Okla. – their son was traveling with them. A tree uprooted by the weather crashed into the car, trapping Branson’s parents inside. Although scared, their 9-year-old ran a mile and a half in the storm through downed power lines until he got help,” the Goodnews Movement Instagram page wrote.

Wayne is currently recovering from his injuries and his wife Lindy is still in hospital but is expected to make a full recovery.
