Speaker 1: So so lucky Lucky Dip, So lucky Dip. Hi your smellamonte?
Speaker 2: Hi?
Speaker 3: Hi?
Speaker 1: How are you really good? Actually? And how are you great?
Speaker 2: Great?
Speaker 1: Great?
Speaker 2: I'm going to kick off our Lucky Dip today with,
Speaker 2: of course a story. I've got a story.
Speaker 1: Story that's fast, like you just deep dive into a story,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I find little ones and I think, oh, that's interesting,
Speaker 2: not big enough to do a doozy on, but just
Speaker 2: you know, bite size, okk.
Speaker 1: Great, perfect, perfect for the Lucky Dip episode, if you will.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: Anyway, So, in the early afternoon of March seventh, twenty fifteen,
Speaker 2: emergency service workers in this town called Spanish Fork in
Speaker 2: Utah in the US, they get a call from this
Speaker 2: guy who's fishing in the local river and he's like, listen,
Speaker 2: there's an overturned car on the side of the river.
Speaker 2: I think I can see someone in there, Like there's
Speaker 2: been an accident. There's a bridge going over this river,
Speaker 2: so like obviously someone's gone off. God anyway, so they
Speaker 2: send out four police officers and two firemen and they
Speaker 2: go in and that the windscreen and stuff is, you know,
Speaker 2: it's like smashed that you can't really see in well,
Speaker 2: you know, but they're looking and they're like, their initial
Speaker 2: look at the scene is that the car's on its roof.
Speaker 2: They can see the female passenger is well and truly dead,
Speaker 2: and there's nothing else going on it, like, there's no
Speaker 2: one else in there. So they're sort of huddled together,
Speaker 2: these six guys right near the car, just talking about
Speaker 2: the logistics of how they're going to get the car
Speaker 2: out and stuff. And they hear a female voice saying,
Speaker 2: help me, help me now, And there's nobody else around.
Speaker 2: It's just the six of them, and they look at
Speaker 2: each other like did you hear that? And they rush
Speaker 2: back to the car. They have another look. There is
Speaker 2: a baby, an eighteen month old little girl, strapped in
Speaker 2: her car seat upside down in this car. Her head
Speaker 2: is just like inches above the river water that's underneath.
Speaker 2: So they go into full panic mode and they start
Speaker 2: trying to sort of move the car and whatever. They
Speaker 2: end up getting the car in a position where one
Speaker 2: of them can get in. They cut her restraints off
Speaker 2: and they pull her out. She's unconscious, very faint pulse,
Speaker 2: but she ends up going to hospital right anyway. So
Speaker 2: the story is that the mother was a twenty five
Speaker 2: year old. She was her and this eighteen month old
Speaker 2: daughter of hers had been visiting her parents. On the
Speaker 2: way home. She had crashed into sort of the side
Speaker 2: barrier of the bridge and gone over the edge right
Speaker 2: she died on impact. That eighteen month old little girl,
Speaker 2: Lily had been upside down with her head just inches
Speaker 2: above this running river water. It was so cold at
Speaker 2: the time that the air temperature was almost freezing. And
Speaker 2: like the the rescue workers that were in the water,
Speaker 2: they were in there for not long and they had
Speaker 2: to be treated for hypothermia. God they worked out by
Speaker 2: speaking to the parents what time the mum left and
Speaker 2: all that stuff. It had been fourteen hours that little
Speaker 2: girl was in there. But the thing is they still
Speaker 2: can't explain whose voice that was that was calling out help,
Speaker 2: because there was nobody else around there. And the thing
Speaker 2: is that when the car had crashed, like where it
Speaker 2: had landed wasn't visible from the road above, So it
Speaker 2: was just by us that this fisherman was down there.
Speaker 2: I say, yes, yeah, But they all swore up and
Speaker 2: down they heard the same thing at the same time. Tyler,
Speaker 2: when you arrived on seeing what did you do?
Speaker 3: We heard something saying help us, help us in saide
Speaker 3: and so it was at that point that we said
Speaker 3: we have to get in that car now, and we
Speaker 3: all were able to push the car on its side,
Speaker 3: and that's when I looked inside and was able to
Speaker 3: see the child infant strapped in the back seat.
Speaker 2: You actually heard a voice calling out help me. I mean,
Speaker 2: do you know who that was?
Speaker 3: You? First, we didn't know if it was someone inside
Speaker 3: the car. If it was what that voice was, we
Speaker 3: assumed her. I assumed that it was someone in the car.
Speaker 3: Sand helped me. That's why we responded, Sand, we're trying.
Speaker 3: We're gonna get inside and help you. We're doing the
Speaker 3: best we can. And that was just extra motivation and
Speaker 3: to get inside the car and figure out who was
Speaker 3: in there.
Speaker 2: And Jerry, you heard that voice as well, Yes, I did.
Speaker 1: Like Officer Bedos has said, more than one of us
Speaker 1: responded back saying we're here to help, and it definitely
Speaker 1: couldn't have been the baby, saying it the baby was unconscious,
Speaker 1: and they said it was a woman's voice. It made
Speaker 1: massive headlines. The baby was fine, made a full recovery.
Speaker 1: She's nine now. Her name's Lily. The mum Unfortunately they
Speaker 1: did toxicology reports and she had a heap of drugs
Speaker 1: in her system. But yeah, it's like one of those
Speaker 1: remarkable stories that it's sort of unexplainable whose choice, totally yes,
Speaker 1: and for all of them to hear it. If it
Speaker 1: was one person that heard it, you wouldn't you know,
Speaker 1: but all of them to hear it and then her
Speaker 1: to be there. Wow, Now you're very good with deep
Speaker 1: diving your stories. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, like sometimes I have this hope in me, like, oh,
Speaker 2: something bad happened, like if I die and I don't know,
Speaker 2: like I want my kids to be protected to say,
Speaker 2: to say he intervene in some way like if you
Speaker 2: know your kid get something dangerous to sort of I
Speaker 2: don't know, I know.
