Actor Danny Trejo performed a heroic act on Wednesday by helping to save a baby trapped in an overturned car following a crash in Los Angeles.
The two-car crash occurred at an intersection in the Sylmar neighborhood.
75-year-old Trejo said he climbed into the damaged vehicle on one side and received help from a woman near the crash scene to unbuckle the child’s car seat.

The Los Angeles Fire Department said three people with non-life-threatening injuries were transported to a local hospital.
“Everything good that has happened to me has happened as a direct result of helping someone else,” Trejo told CNN affiliate KABC. “Everything.”
