PEMBROKE PINES, FLA. (WSVN) - Rescue crews took a 2-year-old girl to the hospital after she was pulled unresponsive from a swimming pool in a Pembroke Pines neighborhood, officials said.
7Skyforce hovered above the scene of the near drowning along the 600 block of Northwest 157th Avenue, just after 11 a.m. on Tuesday.
Pembroke Pines Fire Rescue units reponded to a 911 call from the family.
Officials said lived ones discovered the girl in the water. How she ended up in the pool is currently under investigation.
First responders administered CPR to the young victim upon arrival and were able to resuscitate her.
A neighbor who asked not to be identified or show her face on camera said she saw a man, presumably the girl’s father, carrying the child out of the residence.
“My heart goes out to that whole family. I mean, that’s a scary thing to happen to them,” she said.
Paramedics transported the toddler to Memorial Hospital West. Officials said she was awake and breathing during transport.
The incident comes just over a month after a 2-year-old boy in Plantation became the fourth drowning death in South Florida within a three-week period.
Pembroke Pines Police are attempting to determine the circumstances surrounding this near drowning.
