OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – Oklahoma City police say an infant about 1 month old is safe after being found abandoned along Interstate 40.

Police say the boy was discovered in a car seat Saturday by a group in a church van that was driving along the interstate.

Police say the baby’s mother has been found and is undergoing a mental evaluation.
