A dramatic video has emerged from the United States of a man rescuing his baby niece from a car wreck.

The footage, shot last week in Russellville, AL, US, shows Tyler Blake Kimbrell pulling his 11-month-old niece Breleigh out of his sister's wrecked car following a crash.

According to local reports, Kimbrell's sister's car brakes failed and she drove off a 100-foot cliff.

KImbrell was following his sister's car and saw the incident unfold.

Kimbrell's sister was thrown from the car and was unharmed but Breleigh was trapped inside.

Kimbrell only filmed the rescue because he was using his cameraphone as a torch to help him locate his niece.

Amazingly little Breleigh emerged from the wreck without a scratch.

"It was the most messed up looking scene I've even seen, and everything turned out ok," Kimbrell later wrote online.
