A 2-year-old girl was saved by a sharp-eyed hero policeman who spotted her walking across a busy Auckland arterial road a week ago. It transpired the teen had fallen asleep, not noticing that the toddler had slipped out of the van and walked into the busy road. The car managed to stop just in time, with the 2-year-old continuing her jaunt across the road, unaware of the danger she was in. Montgomery stopped his car across the road to block the traffic, put on his flashing lights and dashed to scoop up the child. He was absolutely in the the right place at the right time, said Senior Sergeant Simon Welsh.
