A heroic group of youngsters pulled an 11-month-old baby and a young couple from a car after it flipped on its side.

The photo was taken by a bystander and shows the men on top of the black car after the crash on a residential road in Kent.

It shows the group rescuing those inside the car as well as a man and his 11-month-old son, who had been dragged from the wreckage by those who rushed to help.

The mother of the baby was also rescued from the car through the passenger side of the vehicle.

Robert Winstanley took the picture after the accident on Sturry Road, Canterbury, as he was walking to a supermarket at about 5pm yesterday.
