A 4-year-old girl is in critical condition after nearly drowning in Pembroke Pines pool
A girl, 4, is in critical condition after nearly drowning in a residential pool in Pembroke Pines, police said Monday evening.
The girl’s family visited a home at 18579 NW 18th St. to potentially find a new place for a dog around 4:30 p.m. on Monday, when she wandered away from the adults unnoticed. Police said several people began looking for her before she was found in the pool. An 8-year-old boy jumped into the pool to save her, according to police.
Witnesses told police she was unconscious and not breathing. They performed CPR until first responders arrived and took her to the hospital.
Police say she is in stable condition in a local hospital.
No more details on the incident were immediately released.
