Welder fabricator Wesley was heading back to his workshop when he and his uncle noticed the car on fire in the lay-by.<\/p>\n
The 39-year-old recalled seeing a woman was at the passenger door “clearly in distress”, screaming that her baby was trapped inside, which he described as “horrifying”.<\/p>\n
Wesley forced his way in through the driver’s side, unclipped the baby’s harness, then Marc took her out as flames were already visible inside the car.<\/p>\n
Moments after Lilah was rescued, the vehicle became engulfed in flames, which Wesley said was “pretty terrifying” and could have meant “a different story”.<\/p>\n
“We were in the right place at the right time,” Wesley said. <\/p>\n
“Instinct just took over.”<\/p>\n
Marc, 58, added he would never have left the scene until the baby was safely out of the car.<\/p>\n
