The story of an 18-month-old baby who miraculously survived after her mother’s vehicle veered off the road and landed upside down in a frigid Utah river has captured headlines in recent days, but there’s yet another mysterious element of the story that is gaining some attention.
When cops with the Spanish Fork Police Department in Spanish Fork, Utah, arrived at the scene on Saturday, they claim that they heard the voice of an adult woman pleading for help from inside the vehicle. Acting quickly, they headed into the water to help.

They then found her 18-month-old baby, Lily, unconscious, but alive, inside of her carseat
