State trooper pulls trapped infant from car after fiery crash

An Ohio state trooper is being called a hero after pulling a trapped 4-month-old boy from a car after a fiery crash that was caught on his dash cam.

The video shows Trooper Sean Eitel following a motorist who was driving erratically on a road in Granville Tuesday night.

The car could be seen swerving all over the road and hitting two utility poles before it overturned and burst into flames.

As rescuers pulled the driver out of the car she could be heard saying that her baby was still inside.

"He is upside down in his car seat, held by the car seatbelt," Eitel said. "I'm still thinking, you know, is this car going to catch back on fire? Is it going to explode? I don't know, so I just wanted to get him out."

The trooper jumped out of the car to put out the fire and then heard the driver screaming: "Please help my son! Please help my son!"

Eitel wasn't sure whether the car would explode or catch back on fire. "I just wanted to get him out," he said.
