PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. (WTSP) — A South Florida couple was arrested after crashing their car, taking off and leaving their daughter in the backseat.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said the 1-year-old wasn't secured in the car but wasn't hurt, just scared.

The parents are charged with child endangerment, among other charges.

Cpl. Colin Campbell comforted the child and kept her calm during the investigation. It was a windy night and she was scared, the sheriff's office posted on its Facebook page.

The child wouldn’t let anyone else hold her otherwise she would start crying uncontrollably, the sheriff's office said.
