An 18-month-old girl was thrown from an SUV her father was driving during a high-speed police chase, then stood up and ran off unharmed — and it was all captured on video.
The west Texas incident occurred after Kenny Shawn Jimenez, 17, robbed a 19-year-old woman in a parking lot in Lubbock on Saturday night and then tried to outrun cops in an SUV along with two 16-year-old girls and a 14-year-old boy, police said.
The cruiser’s dash cam video, released Monday, shows the SUV screeching into a left turn, swerving and then flipping into a barrel roll, ejecting the little girl through a window, KCBD television reported.
The tot hits the pavement but, miraculously, pops up unharmed and begins running after the truck, which is drifting toward the shoulder.
The video then shows a female hop out of the car, scoop up the toddler and run away.
Police eventually busted the teens, two of whom had tried to hide in a woman’s backyard.
Cops say the little girl only suffered a few scratches and was treated at University Medical Center.
Robbery victim Chelsea Betenbough said she noticed the baby in the backseat after Jimenez stuck a pistol in her face and stole her cash and purse.
“He was getting in the car and I said, ‘all that with a baby in the back seat?'” Betenbough told the station. “I was shocked I saw her.”
Jimenez was charged with aggravated robbery and injury to a child.
The other teens weren’t identified because of their ages.
