How an 18-month-old girl rescued from the car crash that killed her mother managed to rescue the life and the faith of the officer who saved her.
As Spanish Fork police officer Tyler Beddoes rushed into the cold water toward an overturned car last year, he left his personal pain and a crisis of faith behind him on the shore.
Beddoes and three other officers raced to upright the car, compelled by a voice they all say they heard pleading for help. But the 25-year-old driver of the vehicle, Lynn Jennifer "Jenny" Groesbeck, had been killed in the crash, and her 18-month-old daughter, Lily, was unconscious and clinging to life as she hung upside down in her car seat.
Beddoes says he has never doubted whose voice he heard that day. It was an angel saving not only the life of Baby Lily, but his own as well.
