Heroic moment baby is rescued from car suck in high flood water

Beeville, TX police officer Ptl Puente extracted a newborn from a car engulfed in waist-high floodwaters Saturday, rescued in under two minutes as the vehicle drifted toward a creek — body-cam footage documented the full incident. Barricades had not yet been deployed when the driver entered the crossing, exposing a recurring gap between storm onset and physical infrastructure response at known flood-prone road segments.
