4-month-old girl pinned under truck after it crashes into Surrey home
A four-month-old girl is recovering in hospital after she was trapped underneath a pickup truck that crashed through her bedroom wall.
Satinder Manj, who lives above the child's bedroom in the house in the 9000 block of Alexandria Crescent in Surrey, B.C., was getting ready for bed around 9:30 p.m. PT Wednesday when he felt the impact of the crash.
"All of a sudden we heard a bang noise at the back," he said.
"I saw the big … pickup truck in my tenant's bedroom … and the lady, she was crying, 'Save my girl, save my girl.'"
Manj said his family and neighbours immediately rushed downstairs to help.
"First we tried to grab the truck and pull out, all of us … my neighbours were really helping," said Manj.
"When we heard the crying noise, everybody stopped."
Driver arrested, child recovering
Manj said firefighters arrived at the scene shortly after and were able to rescue the child from underneath the truck.
RCMP said the girl is recovering in hospital and the driver, a 57-year-old man, was arrested.
Due to the damage to the building, Manj said he and his family will be staying at their neighbour's for the night.
Collision analysts will be at the scene overnight investigating the crash.
Meanwhile, police are asking anyone with information or video of the crash to contact them.
