Baby Survives 14 Hours In Submerged Car
In Utah, a baby survives for 14 hours strapped upside down in a car seat within a semi-submerged vehicle in sub-freezing temperatures. The car somehow veered off the road and landed upside down in the Spanish Fork River. The wreck was not discovered until a fisherman spotted it the next day. They baby was dressed in a fleece jumper suit and was held suspended just inches from the flowing water, which allowed it to survive. Four firefighters & three policemen who ventured into the water to rescue the baby all had to be treated for hypothermia. The baby was taken to a hospital and listed in critical condition. Sadly, the 25-year-old mother was found dead in the driver’s seat. (3/8/2015)
