Utah infant in critical condition after submerged car rescue

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — An infant was in critical condition after police rescued the boy from a submerged car in a Utah pond, authorities said.

Police responded around 11:15 p.m. Sunday to the executive course at Golf in the Round in South Salt Lake.

Officers found a car upside down in a retention pond. A woman told police a child was still inside the vehicle in a car seat.

Police went into the water and broke out a back window to retrieve the infant, who was transported to Primary Children’s Hospital.

“The officers have to dive in multiple times. There are two officers that go in, dive in, to extract that child out of that vehicle,” South Salt Lake Police spokesperson Danielle Croyle said.

Police say 28-year-old Brittanie Miloshevsky was arrested for DUI resulting in serious bodily injury, child endangerment and criminal mischief.

Court records did not list an attorney representing Miloshevsky Monday morning.
