A 7-year-old girl is fighting for her life in a Phoenix hospital after a terrifying incident in a north Phoenix pool on Friday night. According to ABC15, the young girl was found unconscious and not breathing after being pulled from the water at a home near 19th Avenue and Loop 101.
The Phoenix Fire Department responded to distressing reports of the near drowning and found that CPR had already been initiated on the young victim before they arrived. By the time firefighter crews reached the scene, the girl was reportedly crying and breathing, as confirmed by 12 News. The circumstances that led to the girl's submersion are still unclear, including how long she was in the water before being discovered.
Emergency services were quick to transport the girl to a hospital where she remains in critical condition. Individuals close to the situation, who have not been identified, provided the initial life-saving measures that enabled her to breathe once again.
The authorities have not released further details on the girl's current health status or on the events that led up to the incident. The investigation is ongoing, and as of now, there is an absence of information regarding supervision or the presence of safety measures at the pool where the tragedy occurred.
