A police officer went viral after a picture emerged of him calming a baby at the scene of the car crash.
Ric Lindley
Sheriff's Deputy Ric Lindley arrived at the scene of a wreck in Alabama, USA to see if there were any victims.
Four people were injured when an ambulance, a tractor trailer and three cars collided.
As Lindley went from car to car on the I-20, he noticed a baby in a car seat. He got her out, held her to him and quickly calmed the youngster down.

A colleague was on hand to capture the act of kindness before uploading the photo onto Facebook.
The picture has since been shared more than 14,000 times and has attracted a string of comments praising Lindley's actions.
The baby and her mother were not injured in the smash.
Lindley told WBRC that: 'We can be hard sometimes, that's just the nature of the beast. But at other times, we're not machines, or computers, we have feelings.
'We are human beings. And, we try to treat people out here just like we would want someone to treat our children, or our spouses, or our parents.'
