Authorities say a 3-year-old girl was trapped in a running washer with automatic locks 5 p.m., yesterday, at the Glenn Rock Laundry and Dry Cleaner.
Jennifer Childs crawled into a washer and her 7-year-old sister, Elizabeth, shut the door. Their aunt, Janice Childs, tried to open the washer after she realized the child was in the machine. A customer had started the washer before the girl climbed in.
Paul Hecker heard screams coming from the cleaners and ran inside to help. Hecker ran to his truck, got a hammer and then smashed the glass to save Jennifer.
