Baby Saved After Winds Blow Stroller Into Lake Michigan Lio Cundiff was nearby and on the phone with his aunt, when he noticed the wind picked up, and then everything unfolded. He realized what had happened and jumped into the water to help rescue the baby. “I see a stroller getting blown into the lake and a lady screaming,” said Cundiff, speaking from his hospital bed following the harrowing rescue. “I wasn’t going to let that baby die.” “I’m just glad the stroller was up and not face down. The baby dipped under a couple times, but I was able to keep her up,” Cundiff said. According to Chicago police, the stroller fell into the water at around 3 p.m. “I was the only one in the water. Another guy came down the ladder to get the stroller out, and the mom kind of helped as well on the ladder, and then once we got the baby out I was able to get myself out. She was breathing and crying when we got her out,” Cundiff said. Emergency crews responded to the scene and Cundiff and the baby were already out of the water by the time they arrived. Police said the baby was taken to the hospital for observation, and she was initially listed in good condition. Cundiff had been enjoying the nice weather before going to work. Needless to say, he called his boss while in the ambulance. “Yeah, I called work, called my girlfriend. My aunt was on the phone. She heard the whole thing. I just threw my phone down and I guess she called my mom. I was just trying to make sure they all knew I was fine and the baby was good.” Cundiff said. “I hope she has a really cool future, and I’m happy I was there,” Cundiff said. He said he was in the hospital for heart monitoring and hoped to be released after staying the night.
