BEASLEY, Texas - A family of five, including three small children, were rescued from their mobile home that flipped over several times during severe weather in Beasley, authorities say.

According to the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office, they received a call around 5:45 a.m. Tuesday about the trailer flipping and rolling over with people inside in the 13000 block of Burnett Rd.

Officials found a father, a mother, and three children ages 2, 4, and 7 inside the mobile home.

All five family members were transported by ambulance to Memorial Hermann in the medical center with non-life-threatening injuries. It was later determined that the trailer home rolled over due to a weather event.
