A truck driver saved an adorable
baby girl after spotting her crawling alongside a highway in Georgia. He
immediately pulled over and rescued the girl from any further danger before
calling the authorities.
Bryant Collins, an ex-convict,
saved a baby girl’s life on the morning of Friday, June 13. The little girl,
just 15 months, had crawled over 300 yards through the woods after leaving her
unsupervised home. Bryant spotted the baby crawling alongside Highway 72 and
immediately pulled over to rescue her before she crawled into traffic.
Truck Driver Saves Baby Girl
Crawling Next To Georgia Highway
Bryant Collins is truly a hero.
On Friday, June 13, the truck
driver noticed something moving next to Highway 72 in Carlton, Georgia. He was
horrified when he realized what it was — a baby crawling.
Bryant quickly pulled over and
managed to pick the baby up and bring her back into the safe confines of his
car. He soon called the authorities, and kept the baby entertained by playing
gospel music on his cell phone until police arrived.
“The baby started crying. so I
turned my phone on and let her listen to some gospel music and she calmed right
down,” Bryant told 11Alive.
The baby girl not only crawled
300 yards through the woods from her home before arriving at the highway, she
may have also fallen down a 15 foot embankment. Thankfully, she only suffered a
few minor scrapes and some insect bites, according to the Daily Mail.
Police released the precious
little girl into the custody of her mother so that she could receive proper
medical treatment after her terrifying morning.
Girl’s Father Arrested For Child
Cruelty
The baby girl who crawled
alongside the highway had allegedly been left at home with her siblings who
were no older than 13.
After the baby was released into
her mother’s custody, police arrested her father, Timothy Pickens, for multiple
different charges, including child cruelty, reckless conduct, and obstruction.
Even though she was given custody
of the baby after the incident, the girl’s mother may face charges as well,
reports the Daily Mail.
It is a miracle that Bryant
spotted the little girl after so many people passed her unnoticed. This story
could have had a much more tragic ending had she not been rescued by Bryant.
