KTLA 5 News shared harrowing footage of first responders rescuing a child by fastidiously sliding an toddler carseat (with the infant strapped inside) throughout a hearth truck’s ladder prolonged over a raging river. Heavy rains in California led to the swelling of the South Yuba River in northern California, creating this harmful scenario.
