Fort Worth Police Department bodycam shows officers save an infant from a roll-over crash
By: Fort Worth, TX - Several Fort Worth police officers and Good Samaritans are being called heroes for saving an infant who was ejected from a vehicle and unresponsive after a bad crash.
The crash happened Thursday morning on Interstate 30 between Eastchase Parkway and Cooks Lane. A woman and her infant child were both ejected in a rollover accident.
Body camera video shows Fort Worth police officers and several Good Samaritans frantically searching for the baby girl. They eventually realized she was pinned under the overturned vehicle.
"Hey! Over here. We need to move the car. I think the baby’s under here," an officer shouts.
Sgt. R. Nichols and Officer E. Bounds got help from the witnesses to lift the car and grab the child. She was unresponsive at the time.
The video also shows the officers performing CPR on the infant. She was awake and crying by the time paramedics arrived to take her to the hospital.
Fort Worth police said both she and her mother are now stable and expected to make a full recovery.
