Yuma family rescued from drowning at Martinez Lake
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – A local family was rescued from drowning at Martinez Lake.
Bailey Ray, a mother, shared on Facebook last weekend that her and two kids were trapped in a 30-foot current.
Her daughter Wren and family friend Rebecca were wearing life jackets, but Ray was not, but just when they thought they would get swept away, a miracle happened.
A boat came by, where they jumped in and rescued everyone.
News 11 spoke with Ray Wednesday, who shared more about what happened.
“I will never be comfortable with water without a life jacket anymore after going through something like that,” Ray expressed. “Because as a mother, I wasn’t even thinking about myself and threw myself into the sensation because I cared about their safety. I didn’t even think about myself until I was treading water.”
Ray’s post on Facebook has gained a lot of reaction.
Reporter Connor Emery will have the full story later this evening.
