An off-duty deputy in Florida miraculously saved the life of an infant boy said to be unresponsive inside a car with his distraught mother.
Dashcam footage from K9 Deputy Jeremie Nix’s police cruiser shows a white sedan pulling over near intersection on Southeast Lake Weir Avenue and 17th Street around 5:30pm Wednesday in Ocala.
The baby’s mother flagged down Deputy Nix, who was driving past the vehicle. He immediately pulled over when he saw the driver put their four-way flashers on.
Nechole Crowell rushed out of the vehicle with baby King and another woman got out of the driver’s seat to help.
Deputy Nix is seen kneeling on the ground to administer CPR and other life-saving measures to the three-month-old.
