A one-year-old boy had to be rescued after his mother accidentally locked him in the family car. <br /><br />Trirat Phanngern, 22, was visiting a hospital on Sunday (July 7) just before midnight when she parked up and left the car to open the boot. <br /><br />But after unloading some of her bags, the car door slammed shut behind her - trapping the toddler, named Smart, locked inside. <br /><br />Firemen arrived at 1am and used oxygen tank to pump air into the car through a gap in the rear window, while the youngster scampered around inside the car oblivious to the panic outside.<br /><br />Rescuers eventually freed Smart after more than one hour when they managed to prise open the driver's side door.<br /><br />The relieved mother said: ''I had taken my son to the doctors because he had a fever. I left the car and took some things out. The key was still in the engine. <br /><br />''The door closed behind me and all four doors were locked. The keys were inside so I couldn't use the central locking.<br /><br />''I'm so thankful that everybody could help to get my son out without him being hurt.''
