Police body camera footage shows dramatic rescue of Utah 'miracle' baby Lily Groesbeck
- 9 years ago
Utah police have released body-camera footage showing the frantic rescue of the 18-month-old girl we told you about last week, who was discovered by rescue workers after spending 14 hours suspended above an icy river.
The girl's mother, Lynn Jennifer Groesbeck, 25, was killed in the accident.
According to Spanish Fork Police, the rear portion of the vehicle was high enough out of the water that Groesbeck's toddler stayed dry after their car plunged into a Utah river at 10:30 p.m. last Friday night.
As icy water flowed through the car's open windows, the child remained strapped to her safety seat.
Police body camera footage caught the heroic rescue:
"There's a baby!" a responder is heard saying as he directs crews to rescue her. "We're helping, we're coming," a rescuer says at another point. "Definitely hypothermic. She's freezing," a rescuer says as the girl is carried to an emergency vehicle and undergoes efforts to revive her. "Come on, sweetie. Come on, sweetie," a responder says.
The water in the river was so cold last weekend that seven emergency responders had to be treated for hypothermia after rescuing the toddler.
Spanish Fork Police Lieutenant Matt Johnson told the Washington Post it's a miracle the child was able to survive.
