A Hunter mother was forced to dive into thigh-deep water to rescue her nine month old daughter, following a near miss with speeding trail-bike riders.
Kimberley Berends was walking along the track between Toronto and Blackalls Park with her three year old son and baby when the riders approached at high speed, almost colliding with the family.
In the process of vacating the path, her pram crashed into the watercourse which runs alongside the walkway.
The baby was unharmed and pedestrians are reminded to be careful.
