Police, bystanders lift car and free baby after crash

The crash and rescue were recorded on video released by Yonkers Police.

“Luckily, two veteran officers of Yonkers’ finest just happened to be getting breakfast next door and quickly took action along with members of the community to rescue a child trapped under the vehicle and render aid to her mother,” Police Commissioner John Mueller said in a news release. “The actions taken are nothing short of heroic.”

The baby sustained a skull fracture and burns to her back and foot. Her 36-year-old mother broke a leg, the news release said.
