This is the moment a hero rescued a woman and her baby from a car partially submerged in a water-filled ditch.

The sheriff's deputies of Flagler County, Florida, USA, smashed the car's window to rescue a baby whose head was "barely above water" and a woman who was bleeding heavily.

The concerned deputies can be heard saying: "I've got a female bleeding heavily, heavily bleeding. She's bleeding and I see a lot of blood on her."

Deputies Lichty and Prevatt attended the scene after the crash was reported on January 5.

The Flagler County Sheriff's Office said: "When deputies arrived, they found a dazed and bleeding male outside of the vehicle and noticed that an adult female and small child in a car seat were still trapped inside the vehicle just above water."

The Palm Coast Fire Department, which arrived shortly after, took the child out of the car.

The woman proved more difficult to extract and the deputies and firefighters had to work as a team to pull her from the vehicle.

The Sheriff's Office added: "The child, who was alert and conscious, was turned over to firefighters and paramedics for evaluation and treatment.

"Deputies then worked as a team with firefighters to rescue the female from the vehicle."

All three of the people were handed over to paramedics, who then transported them to AdventHealth-Palm Coast hospital.

The investigation into the crash is now in the hands of Florida highway patrol.
