MOTORIST SAVES CHILD CRAWLING ACROSS N.J. ROAD

LAKEWOOD, N.J. A baby girl found crawling across a busy New Jersey street was unharmed after a neighbour and passing motorist came to her aid, police said. The child was spotted on all fours at around 5 p.m. Saturday.

“I thought it was a toy or something until she moved,” motorist Cory Cannon told the Asbury Park Press.

He got out of his car to stop traffic. At the same time, a neighbour got the baby and returned the child home. Authorities say the baby may have left through a door that was left open by an older sibling.

A woman at the home called the matter “an accident.”

It wasn’t clear how long the child was on the roadway. The case remains under investigation.
