As reported by Fox News, high temperatures in Texas have been reaching triple digits over the past few weeks. In the midst of this extreme weather, a family from South Texas faced a terrifying situation when they accidentally locked the keys inside their car, along with their baby. Fortunately, several passersby took action to help rescue the child.

A video recorded by one of the people present at the scene shows a man smashing the windshield with some sort of instrument, while another man takes his place and also starts hitting the glass. After creating a hole, the man reaches into the windshield area and successfully rescues the baby. The video then shows a person, reportedly a woman, entering the car to retrieve the baby before the child is lifted through the windshield into the arms of the second man.

This dramatic rescue took place in the parking lot of an H-E-B grocery store in Harlingen, Texas. According to reports from the news outlet, the heat index on the day of the incident was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and it is likely that the temperature in the parking lot was even higher.

Currently, according to Fox News, it is unknown how long the child was inside the car before being rescued. However, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration warns that it takes as little as 10 minutes for the temperature inside a car to increase by 20 degrees. In any case, the heat inside that small vehicle was extreme. Additionally, Fox points out that children's body temperature rises three to five times faster than that of adults, which adds to the seriousness of the situation for those involved.

According to USA Today, at least 14 children have lost their lives this year due to being left in hot cars. This brings the total number of deaths to 1,000 over the past three decades.
