What is that? >> You got a toddler walking out of the back. You got a baby. I don't care. Crawl to me. Crawl to me. You crawled out of the car, you crawl You ran from me cuz you don't have a license. You almost killed your kid, do you understand me? Come here. Stand in front of my car. >> A routine traffic stop turns into a terrifying game of life and death when a mother makes the ultimate reckless choice. Going 82 mph in a 55 zone, she decides to run from the police. But, her biggest crime isn't the speed. It's who she has hidden in the backseat. This is the moment a routine patrol turns into a desperate rescue mission. >> I've got no activity yet. I'm at gunpoint. >> The chase unfolds on a flat stretch of Route 118 near Joyner. Realizing the driver is actively trying to cut him off to block an intervention, the trooper is forced to make a split-second decision. He executes a precise PIT maneuver, pushing her bumper. The vehicle veers off the road, obliterates a mailbox, strikes a driveway embankment, and flips violently into an open field. >> We're right here at the Joiner Post Office on 118. >> 54, did you have traffic 10-1? >> Just clarifying my location. Uh US Post Office on 118 here in Joiner. >> 10-4. >> Driver of the car, your hands up. Put your hands up. Got a female coming out of the back seat on the driver side. Hands up. >> A baby coming out the back. A baby. >> Got a toddler walking out of the back. Got a baby. >> He just came out. >> Come stand right here. You're okay. >> With his weapon drawn, the officer yells for the driver to exit the smoking overturned wreckage. But as the door opens, the situation shifts from a high-stakes arrest to absolute shock. Crawling out from the shattered glass of the backseat isn't another criminal. It's a defenseless 3-year-old toddler, miraculously walking away from the rollover completely uninjured. >> Come come right here, baby. Come right here. Come right here. >> I'm okay. >> Sit up here, okay? Sit here, baby. Sit right here. Cuz it's just you. Why did you run from me with a baby in the car? I don't care where you're going. Why would you do that? Crawl to me. I DON'T CARE. CRAWL TO ME. Crawl to me. You crawled out of the car, YOU CRAWL TO ME. YOU OKAY? YOU OKAY? >> MAMA. MAMA. MAMA. Thank you. >> The child is okay. She's with me, sitting on the hood of my car. The mother's trying to crawl to me. >> Mama.

Just crawl. >> She said there's a child in the car. >> They're trying to crawl. >> Mama. >> She's stating she's the only one in the vehicle, and I'm going to have her have her crawl to me, and then we'll clear it when they get here. >> Mama. >> Hey, over here. Crawl to this side of my car. Stay right here, sweetie. >> I'm sorry. >> Get over here. >> I'm sorry. >> I don't care. Get over here. >> I'm trying. >> You just ran from me. >> I'm sorry. [ __ ] >> Walk up here. Get up. Get up. >> Can I get Can I call someone to get my baby? >> Well, yeah, obviously. >> Okay. Mama. >> 15 months female. >> 1 female, 240. >> Mama.

She's trying to get him there. Nothing's in the car. Nothing's in the car. Nothing's in the Nothing. I'm not a This is my boyfriend's car. >> The trooper immediately secures the child, placing him safely on the hood of his cruiser while instructing the injured mother to crawl toward him. When asked the question every viewer is thinking, "Why run with a baby in the car?" Her excuse leaves the officers completely disgusted. She chose to risk her toddler's life simply because she didn't have a valid driver's license. >> I'm going to see if anybody else 34 jumper. >> Huh? I didn't want my baby to get hurt. >> Why are you going to jail? >> I don't have a license. My boyfriend >> That's why you ran from me? >> Yes, sir. >> You ran from me cuz you don't have a license? You almost killed your kid. Do you understand me? Come here. Stand in front of my car. You could have killed your child. Do you understand? That was the stupidest thing you've ever done in your life. Today was the stupidest decision you've ever made. Do you understand? Pulling you over for going 80 in a 55. You are >> No, sir. >> Yeah, cuz you were trying to get get away from me and then you confirmed it by running from me. Quit talking. Yes, your mother is going to get the child. No, we're not. No, we're not. You did this. >> You already checked everything in there? I'll check the vehicle. >> Yeah. Yeah. We got to get it rolled over to finish checking it, but What's your name? >> My name is Lee. Y'all, what's that tag again? >> 34 GTN 19 >> Thank you. 30 to 34 Go ahead.

I'm responsible for that baby now. >> As backup arrives and the child is handed off to medical personnel, the mother shifts from apologetic to hostile, accusing the trooper of trying to kill her. But, the veteran officer holds his ground, stating clearly that he takes no joy in what happened, but was forced into a terrible situation by her own horrific decisions. >> That is so [ __ ] up. CAN'T MISS SAYING, "CAN YOU CALL my mother?" Can you call >> You okay, sweetie? >> Mama. >> Buddy, I mean. >> Mama. >> Who Who are you? >> I'm Sandra Williams. I work at the nursing home with her mother, Shauna Jones. I >> Yeah, Shauna down here. I can't just hand a baby off. >> know. Okay.
