The Hartford, Vt. fire department said it responded to the area of Quechee Main Street and the Mill Run Condominiums for a report of a car in the Ottauquechee River at about 12:45 p.m. “The driver was hanging onto the vehicle as it floated downstream,” the department said. The toddler was in the backseat of the car, in a car seat.
