Dashcam Captures Driver Saving Toddlers From Busy Cocoa Beach Road

Dashcam footage corroborates the rescue, with no related calls logged by the sheriff's office.

Overview

  • Video shows John Brittingham pulling over on A1A, sprinting into traffic and lifting two toddlers out of harm’s way.
  • He said the children appeared about two to three years old and that the rescue took only a few seconds.
  • Brittingham went door to door and reunited the toddlers with family at a nearby home, saying an open back gate likely let them out.
  • He did not contact police, explaining that his focus was returning the children to their caregivers.
  • The Brevard County Sheriff's Office said it received no reports or calls about the incident, and Brittingham later described a draining adrenaline crash.
