A 2-year-old and her parents are home safe after being rescued Tuesday afternoon when the car they were in drove into a pond.
Naperville police responded shortly before 1 p.m. to a pond near the 95th Street Library after witnesses saw the partially submerged car in the pond.
When officers arrived on the scene, three officers immediately went into the water, broke out a rear window to rescue the child and helped her parents out of the car.
“They did a fantastic job on a cold day, forgetting about the elements and doing what is expected,” Naperville police Cmdr. Michaus Williams said. “Thankfully, this ended in a happy resolution with everyone being OK.”
Williams said an initial investigation indicated the driver of the car, which was parked near the pond, accidentally hit the gas instead of the brakes.
