Albuquerque officials are honoring a city employee for rescuing a child from a locked car.
Department of Senior Affairs meal-delivery driver David Gallegos on Friday was honored as employee of the week.
Officials say Gallegos was working his route June 4 when saw a woman frantically yelling for help because she'd accidentally locked her 3-year-old granddaughter in her car along with the keys.
Gallegos obtained a hanger, a screwdriver and a piece of wood from a custodian. He used them to pry open the door enough to fish out the car keys and free the child.
She was in the car for only a few minutes and was unharmed.
Gallegos previously was named employee of the week in 2012 for rescuing an elderly woman who'd fallen in her home.
