Several dive teams and first responder drone teams were called to work in the area. Fremont Mayor Danny Sanchez said during a press conference Sunday evening that the fatalities were one woman in her late 50s and another woman in her late 30s, who are believed to be mother and daughter. Sanchez said the group of people was walking on the train tracks when the accident happened. A child about age 14 months old was rescued from the water Sunday night and taken to a hospitqal. First responders were looking for another child, age 5, who did not make it out of the water. Sanchez said the family was visiting from Fort Wayne, Indiana, for a fishing trip.
