It was a scene out of a comedy movie, but the end result could have been very serious. A five year old girl was left along an exit on I-80 west of Green River when her parents stopped for a "potty" break and did not realize the girl did not get back into the white van they were driving. Detective Dick Blust with the Sweetwater County Sheriff's office says Corporal Matt Bartolotta was able to calm the frightened girl while contact was made with her parents.
Her parents were finally contacted both by cell phone and by being pulled over 130 miles away at Rawlins.
According to Bartolotta, there were close to ten other children in the van. Once he confirmed the parents' identities and observed the little girls' joy at seeing them, Bartolotta turned the little girl over to them.
