Watch via body cam the rescue of baby Lily Groesbeck

Footage from a police body camera reveals first responders’ efforts in the Utah rescue of baby Lily Groesbeck, who was found alive after spending nearly 14 hours in her mother’s partly submerged car.

New footage from a police body camera shows the efforts behind last weekend’s rescue of 18-month-old Lily Groesbeck, who was found alive in her mother’s car nearly 14 hours after it crashed into a Utah river.

The video shows first responders rushing into the frigid waters of the Spanish Fork River to pull the toddler out of her car seat, which was stuck in her mother’s upside-down and partly submerged Dodge sedan.

The raw footage, released a week after the rescue occurred, reveals the responders’ teamwork at the scene, which helped lead to the toddler’s survival. The video shows the responders trying to shift the wrecked vehicle, pulling Lily out, and getting her to emergency care.

“You got her? Pass her up, pass her up!” one responder says in the video.

“She’s definitely hypothermic,” says the man who takes Lily up the river bank towards a waiting ambulance.

Investigators estimate the crash to have occurred around 10:30 p.m. Friday in Spanish Fork, about 50 miles south of Salt Lake City. A local fisherman didn’t find the wreck until about 12:30 p.m. the following day.

The car swerved into the river after it struck a cement barrier on the bridge, investigators told The Associated Press. Police are still investigating why the car left the road in the first place.

The child was found strapped to her car seat, hanging upside down above the water that flowed through the car, police Lt. Matt Johnson told the Deseret News.

Three police officers and four firefighters who waded into the river to push the car onto its side were treated for hypothermia at a local hospital and released.

Lily’s mother, Lynn Jennifer Groesbeck, died in the crash, but several of the rescuers claimed to have heard an adult female voice calling for help before they found the trapped toddler.

“It wasn’t just something that was just in our heads,” Officer Tyler Beddoes told Utah’s KSL. “To me, it was plain as day.”

"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 this past Sunday. "We're not exactly sure where that voice came from," he added.

The child was brought to Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City for treatment, where she was listed in critical condition. She was released Wednesday into her father’s care and is reported to be making a full recovery.

"It's unbelievable. That just doesn't happen," Deven Trafny, Lily’s dad, told KUTV. “I’m overwhelmed with joy right now.”

A GoFundMe account set up after the accident has already raised nearly $75,000 in more than 2,000 donations to cover Lily’s medical costs.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
