A Taco Bell manager in suburban Philadelphia is being hailed as a hero for saving a baby's life in the drive-through.

It happened at a restaurant in Richboro, Penn., last week.

Natasha Long was with her 11-week-old son, Myles, when he suddenly stopped breathing in the drive-through. A security camera captured her jumping out of the car.

"I ran out of the car and ran around and opened the car door," Long told WPVI-TV. "I pulled him out and he turned completely blue and was lifeless. At that point I just completely blacked out. I didn't know what to do."

The video showed manager Becky Arbaugh running out of the store and to the mother holding her son.

"I threw my headset. I ran outside," Arbaugh told the TV station. "I took the baby and I started to do chest compressions on the baby and then he finally started to breathe."

Arbaugh says she was able to stay calm because one of her daughters had a similar experience years ago.

Myles was taken to St. Christopher's Hospital for Children for treatment. The baby is doing well.

"We are incredibly proud of Becky from the Taco Bell brand's Richboro location for her heroic act earlier this week," Taco Bell said in a statement. "We are getting in touch to express appreciation for her quick actions and kindness."
