Thanks to this wonderful Amazon delivery truck driver, a baby abandoned on the side of the road after a carjack in Texas, was saved and brought to his family.
According to the driver, one Juan Carlos Flores, he saw the newborn strapped into a car seat while on his delivery route in the north of Houston.
He said that the first thing he thought is that this isn’t normal-the baby being on the side of the road. When he made sure it was an infant in the car seat, he says he wanted to cry.
He thought how someone could have the heart to leave a baby like this.

According to the neighbour, Mirna Garcia, the thief must’ve realized that there was a baby in the car.
He also explained that the cameras showed the baby was there for around 20 minutes before the Amazon driver rescued it and took it away from the street.
Unfortunately, around 6 cars drove by and no one noticed the car seat, explained Garcia. And, it was also trash day that day, so it was harder to realize something was on the corner of the road.
The good news is that the baby is safe and sound and reunited with his momma. However, until now, no suspects have been arrested.
