FORT WORTH, Texas (WFLA) — Two officers from the Fort Worth Police Department were dispatched to a crash scene on October 23, where a driver and an infant were thrown from their vehicle during the incident.
According to the police, the baby was found unresponsive, trapped beneath the flipped vehicle on Interstate 30.
Body camera footage captured the officers and bystanders working together urgently to lift the vehicle off the infant.
