The child was spotted around 5 p.m. Saturday in Lakewood.
The motorist, Cory Cannon of Eatontown, told the Asbury Park Press he saw the girl on Joe Parker Road and initially thought she was a toy. But when he saw the child moving, he got out of his car to stop traffic.
At that same time, a neighbor got the baby and returned the child home.
Authorities say the baby may have left through a door that was left open by an older sibling. A woman at the home called the matter “an accident.”
It wasn’t clear how long the child was on the roadway.
By Tuesday evening, Cannon’s photo and Facebook post about the baby had gone viral, garnering more than 700 comments and over 2,500 shares.
The case remains under investigation.
