CINCINNATI (AP) - A 5-year-old boy has died after he was rescued from a car submerged under water for more than 30 minutes.
WKRC-TV in Cincinnati reports crews were called to Surrey Court in Florence, Kentucky around 6 p.m. Friday
after reports a car had rolled into a pond with the boy, a 9-year-old
girl and a dog trapped inside. The family had been preparing to leave
the house.
The girl and dog survived, but the boy was unable
to escape. Crews rescued him after about half an hour and transported
him to Children's Hospital, where he later died.
A witness told the station anyone within shouting distance was in the water trying to save the boy.
Police say they aren't sure if the car was running or shifted into neutral.
