Baby trapped in car rescued

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) was called to rescue a three-month-old infant trapped in a car in Pasir Ris Street 1 yesterday.

It is not known how long the baby girl was in the car, which was parked in an open-air carpark near Block 537.

An SCDF spokesman said it was alerted to the incident at 12.28pm, and that the infant was conscious when she was taken to KK Women's and Children's Hospital at around 1pm. The Straits Times understands that the parents had called a locksmith to help them unlock the car doors.
