Two Fort Worth police officers who helped rescue an infant who was pinned under an overturned vehicle along I-30 are opening up about the experience.

Sergeant Nichols and Officer Bounds responded to the scene where a mother and baby were ejected from their car.

Officer Bounds says preparing for that type of call is extremely difficult.

"We go through a lot of training, scenario-based training, but nothing can really prepare you mentally for seeing a baby in that condition," Officer Bounds said.

Sergeant Nichols had initially feared the child had died.

"We all came together," said Sergeant Nichols.
"When she starts breathing and crying, it was the biggest sigh of relief."

Both the mother and baby are stable and are expected to make a full recovery.

The crash happened last Thursday along I-30 between Eastchase Parkway and Cooks Lane.
