Utah Toddler That Survived Deadly Car Crash Is Released From Hospital
Source: ABC News
A Utah toddler who survived a crash that claimed the life of her mother was released from the hospital today.
Lily Groesbeck survived 14 hours in the submerged wrecked car in freezing temperatures before being rescued by first responders on Saturday. The car was found partially in a river, with water so frigid rescuers could only stay in the water a few moments at time.
Initially rescuers did not initially realize the 18-month-old was in the car, although officers and firefighters at the scene reported hearing a voice asking for help before locating Lilly. Officials said they believe Lilly's mother was killed on impact.

"Her improvement is astounding. Right now she's watching Dora and singing 'Wheels on the Bus' with Grandpa," Lily's aunt Jill Sanderson wrote on the family's fundraising page earlier this week. "She is smiling and laughing for family members. We're blown away by Lily's progress and so grateful to her rescuers."

Three police officers and two firemen outside Salt Lake City, Utah, say they heard a mysterious voice asking for help before they knew a toddler was in a submerged car for 13 hours.
Officers Tyler Beddoes, Jared Warner and Bryan Dewitt, who responded to the incident in the Spanish Fork River Saturday, say they heard an adult voice say, "Help me," Spanish Fork Police officer Lt. Matt Johnson told ABC News.
Johnson said the two firefighters, Paul Tomadakis and Lee Mecham, also heard the voice before realizing there was a toddler in the car.
"To me, it was plain as day," Warner told KSL.com. "I remember hearing a voice that didn't sound like a child, just saying, 'Help me.'"
