The toddler was in his car seat, screaming and bleeding, Mosley told the station. The driver, and the baby's father, was so shook up he couldn't unlock the door to get his child out, Mosley said.

Mosley and his girlfriend called 911 and managed to get the baby. "The baby was crying and bleeding, his neck was bruised," Mosley told the station.

He and his girlfriend grabbed the baby bag in the car and followed paramedics to the hospital, he said.
