INDIANTOWN, Fla. (CBS12) \u2014 Martin County deputies plunged into a canal Sunday afternoon in a desperate race to save three children and an adult in a mangled, overturned Jeep.<\/p>\n

Upon arrival, crews say they located a Jeep overturned and partially submerged in a ditch.<\/p>\n

In a race against time, MCSO deputies jumped into the water and pulled three injured children from the wreckage.<\/p>\n

However, the fourth passenger, an adult, remained trapped inside the mangled vehicle, reportedly requiring Martin County Fire Rescue crews to perform an extrication to free them.<\/p>\n

The adult victim was transported to the hospital as a trauma alert with serious injuries, per deputies.<\/p>\n

The rescue was a “massive coordinated effort,” according to officials, involving multiple engines, dive teams, and air support.<\/p>\n

“Special thanks to the Martin County Sheriff\u2019s Office for their assistance and immediate life-saving actions on the scene,” fire officials said in a statement.<\/p>\n

All four patients were taken to Lawnwood Regional Medical Center for treatment and evaluation.
