‘Heroic witness’ saves toddler who was ejected from truck in car crash

A heroic witness dived off a Maryland bridge into the bay below to save a 2-year-old girl who was ejected from a pickup truck during a five-car crash.

The accident, which occurred Sunday afternoon, left the pickup truck teetering over a guardrail on the bridge over Assawoman Bay, video and photos show. “A heroic witness jumped from the bridge into the bay and rescued the child,” city officials said in a statement, according to NBC News.
