Mountie rescues infant from car seat after vehicle hits watery ditch
PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Man. — A woman is facing impaired driving charges in Manitoba after a vehicle rolled into a watery ditch and trapped a toddler in his car seat.
RCMP say the vehicle was lying on its side when officers arrived at the scene in Portage la Prairie on Friday.
They could hear a child screaming and found a one-year-old boy still strapped into his car seat and partially submerged in freezing cold water.
One of the officers climbed through a broken window and cut the child free.
