SEATTLE - A garbage truck driver is being called a hero after helping rescue a baby in a runaway stroller in a Seattle neighborhood Thursday.
The rescue was all caught on camera.
Jeff Blackburn was driving his truck when he saw a woman jogging up a hill with a child in a stroller, according to CNN.
Blackburn saw the woman stop at the top and the stroller got away from her and quickly started rolling downhill.
He said the bottom of the hill is a busy intersection and when he got to the bottom he quickly put on the brakes, jumped out of the truck and ran over to grab the stroller.
Blackburn and another woman were able to stop the stroller just after it hit a curb and he says the little boy was just fine.
In fact, he said, the child was smiling and seemed to have enjoyed the ride downhill.
