When a five-month-old baby stopped breathing while being driven along a Florida highway Thursday there was plenty of help at hand.
Pamela Rauseo pulled over and screamed for someone to help her nephew, Sebastian, before starting CPR. Fortunately, police officer Amauris Bastidas, pictured center and cradling Sebastian, right, was stuck in traffic and able to rush over and help the baby. In a twist of fate, award-winning photojournalist Al Diaz was also in the traffic hold up, and captured this series of dramatic pictures showing the emergency crews saving the baby's life.
