Michigan State Police (MSP) on Sunday rescued a missing 2-year-old boy curled up in a ditch on the side of the freeway using heat-detecting technology.

Video footage of the heat-seeking vision technology from a helicopter, shared by MSP on Facebook, shows the dramatic rescue.

“I got another heat censor. We’re going to be south of the apartment, just north of the freeway.… In a ditch. I can’t tell if it’s an animal or a child,” an MSP trooper says over a police radio in the video.

“This is looking like this is possibly the child, but it can’t be confirmed yet,” the officer can be heard saying a moment later in the footage. 

Troopers using heat-seeking technology located the 2-year-old, who was wearing only a diaper, “within 15 minutes in the area,” MSP said in a Facebook post. (Michigan State Police)

“Trooper 2 directed ground units to the child, who was conscious and alert and did not appear injured. You can see officers comforting the child as they walked [sic] to a waiting ambulance,” MSP said.

Authorities transported the toddler to a nearby hospital in good condition, officials said.

MSP did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
