2-year-old girl in hospital after near-drowning in Buckeye

A 2-year-old girl was seriously injured after she was pulled out of a canal in Buckeye on Saturday, officials said.

Deputies were called to an area near Baseline and South Palo Verde roads about 5:45 p.m. in response to a drowning, according to a spokesperson for the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.

The girl’s family members were doing yard work and lost track of their daughter for a short time, officials said. The 2-year-old was found unresponsive in an irrigation-type canal.

The father pulled the girl from the canal and performed CPR until emergency responders arrived. Officials said she was transported to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries.
