Utah Miracle Baby Survives Car Crash, Sub-Zero Conditions

Lily Groesbeck is the only survivor of a horrific car crash that killed her mother a sorrowful tragedy that happens all too often and in this accident the survivor, an infant, is being called a miracle baby and her mother an angel who never left her side.

Lynn Jennifer Groesbeck, had left her parent’s home about 10:30pm Friday, March 6, and midway between Spanish Fork, a suburb of Salt Lake City, Utah and her home the accident occurred.

Striking a cement barrier the force caused the vehicle to flip over the guard railing and fall 15 feet into the icy waters of the Spanish Fork River beneath.

The vehicle stayed partially submerged throughout the night and into the next day. It wasn’t until a fisherman happened on the scene that Spanish Fork police arrived.

As they rushed to the vehicle, at least five officers distinctly heard an adult woman’s voice saying “hurry come help us.” Which the officers said created an urgency to get to the vehicle and get what they believed were multiple survivors out of the car.

What they found was a baby, Lily strapped into her car seat, in proper fashion, upside down, her head barely above water and alive, unresponsive but alive. The driver, her mother, was deceased.

Lily survived the night hanging upside, without food or water, in a part of the vehicle not submerged in the icy Spanish Fork river, with outside temperatures in the 20’s because her mother buckled her into her car seat.

The first responders didn’t mention whether the baby was also dressed properly for the temperatures. Chances, with the way she was strapped into the car seat, she had, clothes, hats, scarves , blankets, doubled under the strapped over he straps.

Anderson Cooper who interviewed five of the first responders seemed perplexed over “the female voice that cried for help.”

At this time, even those without faith have to conclude the voice came from a higher power.

For those with faith, the simple explanation of God manifesting Himself or sending an angel or the spirit of the mother, called audibly, to the men and they so tuned into the scene heard. Whatever explanation one choses or decides it was simply fate fact states it happened.

Faith often is unexplainable, miracles even more. Which is why sometimes simple faith must be the conclusion and accepted. The first responders became a part of was a miracle, defined as an event witnessed by more than one without tangible explanation.
