2-year old girl recovered from White River; investigation ongoing to find what led to father, truck in water

A small child was found by a diver nearly two days after duck hunters found her father and his truck in the White River.

 

Bartolomew County Sheriff Matt Myers says the body of a two-year old girl was found almost two miles downstream from the initial investigation site.  The girl's father, Jeremy Sweet, 39, has been hospitalized with hypothermia since Friday when he and his truck were found partially submerged in the river.  Sweet told authorities he wasn't certain what caused his truck to go into the river down a 15-foot embankment.

 

Sheriff Myers said Sweet has given differing accounts of what happened.

 

Sweet was placed on a 72-hour hold while the investigation continues.  At last report, he was listed in critical condition.
