"The baby was in a car seat in the backseat on the passenger side... The vehicle was on its top, so the car seat could have been out of the water. The car was on the embankment, so I don't know how much water was getting into the car."... [T]he water was so cold that the rescue crew members could only stay in for short periods of time.

"Emergency crews tipped the car on its side and found the baby in a car seat in the back... The baby's mother, Lynn Jennifer Groesbeck, 25, was found dead in the driver's seat...."

Driven this road many times to ski at Sundance. A tragedy. Probably Icy road conditions and doubt (hope) a cell phone was not the proximate cause. A miracle the child survived. Sympathy to the family.
The mother saved her daughter by wrestling her into that car seat. Done that same task 5000 times. Never know when it will save a life.
A story like this has to be very encouraging to rescuers. It's a lot better than just pulling out dead bodies.
Good mothers are a blessing.
The Deseret News is reporting that the rescuers heard a voice saying "help me." Otherwise, they said they probably wouldn't have worked to get the car out of the water right away. Amazing.
When I read about things like this, I wonder what goes through a person's mind when they are in this kind of limbo for that long. This was 13 hours - I think a few years ago a lady was trapped in car off of a Florida freeway for many days before she was discovered.
There is more to the story:
""We've gotten together and just talkin' about it, and all four of us can swear that we heard somebody inside the car saying, 'Help,'" officer Jared Warner recalled Sunday.
"But when they flipped the vehicle resting on its hood in the Spanish Fork River onto its side Saturday, they discovered there was no one inside able to speak.
"The only people in there were the deceased mother and the child," said officer Bryan Dewitt..."
Miracles happen.
