A relative of Blake Carver said the man rescued his wife and 3-year-old daughter from the water. She said Carver dived back into the water several times, but could not reach his 2-year-old daughter. He had to be held back by deputies from continuing his efforts, according to the relative. Divers pulled Brynlie from the SUV and handed her to EMT’s. Emergency technicians flew the girl to EIRMC by helicopter. The sheriff’s office said the driver was on a gravel bar covered in water and slipped off into the hole. Investigation is continuing.
