A baby is expected to make a full recovery and two Fort Worth police officers are being hailed as heroes after saving the infant, who was pinned under an overturned car after a crash on Texas’s Interstate 30 on Thursday morning.
Fort Worth police said in a social media post that Sgt R Nichols and officer E Bounds responded to a crash around 9.30am where a woman and an infant had been in a collision that caused the infant to be ejected from the vehicle.
Body camera footage shared Friday on social media by the Fort Worth police department shows an officer running toward the overturned car and beginning to search for the child as a distraught woman can be heard in the background yelling for her baby.
“Hey, we need to move the car. I think the baby’s under there,” the officer can be heard saying.
The officer rallied other motorists who had stopped at the scene to help him lift the car.
