A FRIGHTENED toddler was rescued from a car in Woodley this morning.

Firefighters from Whitley Wood were called at 11am to Woodford Park Leisure Centre in Haddon Drive, after the youngster’s mother left her keys in her bag and the convertible BMW locked itself when she shut the driver’s door.

The crew spent 15 minutes prising open the car door to free the toddler without damaging the car.
