ATLANTA — A heroic rescue was captured on video after a distressed mother accidentally locked the keys in her hot car-- with her 8-month-old baby inside. 

Fayette County Sheriff's Deputy Molina and a Fayette County Marshall jumped into action when they received a call about an infant trapped in the car in 85-degrees Fahrenheit heat.
