Drugs involved in fatal crash with miracle baby survivor
SPANISH FORK, Utah -- Authorities say a Utah woman who died in March when she crashed her car into Spanish Fork River had a mixture of drugs in her system.
The accident attracted worldwide attention because the woman's 19-month-old daughter survived 14 hours in the wrecked car, hanging upside down just inches from freezing water.
A medical examiner's report released Wednesday says 25-year-old Lynn Jennifer Groesbeck had Clonazepam, marijuana, morphine, codeine and hydromorphone in her system when she died.
Police offices initially found marijuana and an unmarked pill bottle in Groesbeck's purse along with a syringe, CBS affiliate KUTV reports.
According to the report, Groesbeck took Klonipin the night of her death and her father, Chad Groesbeck, told her she shouldn't drive home.
Lynn Groesbeck assured him she was fine, but he made sure baby Lily was property secured in her car seat they left.
Family members say Lily Groesbeck made a miraculous recovery after the crash.
