"She was able to talk us to her," said Montgomery County Precinct 1 Constable Lt. Tim Cade. "Before we arrived on the scene, we knew where we were going, we knew what we were coming up on, and we knew what we had to do before ever getting there."

"This is from a 10-year-old and that, in my book, that's a hero," he added.

All three members of the Clark family were wearing life jackets at the time of the accident, according to investigators.
