Baby who survived car crash in Utah river is getting better

A mystery arose from the rescue: The police officers who entered the water say they heard a voice calling for help.

The mother was dead, but the officers said that they heard an adult's voice calling to them.

"The four of us heard a distinct voice coming from the car," Warner told CNN. "To me, it didn't sound like a child's voice."

The voice gave the rescuers a surge of adrenaline needed to push the vehicle upright, he said.

The mother was dead. The child was unconscious, but her eyelids were fluttering, and the rescuers knew she was alive, Warner said.

It's one of those things that doesn't have an explanation, he said about the voice.

"It felt like I could hear someone telling me, 'I need help,'" DeWitt told CNN affiliate KSL. "It was very surreal, something that I felt like I could hear."

Tyler Beddoes, a third officer at the scene, said the same.

"Someone said 'help me' inside that car," he said.

I hope the tyke recovers well. There’s something to do in that life.

A guarding angle on a mission...that child has something worthy in this life to accomplish. ..

we all do

I believe too. It’s hard enough to get one police officer to admit something like that happened but all 4?

Do you think the mother may have fallen asleep at the wheel?

[CGASMIA68]

I believe in Car Seats,good the Mom did too

Heartwarming story but one wishes somebody could have heard voices sooner. Maybe some got prompts but didn't follow them because things like that often make no sense. They were there at the car; it's not like they were going to leave it there. Maybe there was a dire urgency about the baby at that time. Who can know the ways of God?

My personal opinion is that it was the dead mother's voice. I prayed for them all. What an adorable little baby. Somebody said in comments, maybe not to be believed that the mother had lost her mother about a year before in a fire I think it was and wrote (maybe on social media?) about anxiety and depression. She and the father were not married but leave that to God; may he have mercy.

You have something to do, Little One.

so not married.who gets the tyke.here we go poor thing becomes a ping pong ball of the judicial system

PS I feel for this guy,he’s in for a rough ride

I am a firm believer in Divine intervention. I have witnessed it first hand on a very personal level. Nothing but the Lord’s hand could have caused it. I know God wanted this little girl to be found for a very good reason. Stories like this fill my heart with joy.

[Aliska]

I should have said I assumed they weren't married because the caption on the picture gives different last names.

That said, I pray there is a loving mature relative or somebody to give the baby a good upbringing.

I hope she doesn't have to suffer in foster homes and there aren't ugly fights over her custody.

If only one LEO heard the voice, this could be brushed off. But four? It would be interesting to get atheist’s view on this.

Praying for this tyke.

If there is a surviving parent, there wouldn’t be any reason for the judicial system to be involved. If the guy in the photo is the dad, he has kind eyes, for what it’s worth.

Kind of like asking a Muslim on his take to The Sermon on the Mount ain't it? ;-)
