HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A woman and an infant were pronounced dead after a vehicle went underwater in east Harris County Friday afternoon.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office said dive team and marine unit members responded to the scene near Market and River Haven. HCSO said someone reported seeing a vehicle with occupants enter the water and submerge.
A woman and a baby, believed to be 1 year old, were pulled from the submerged vehicle but were pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.
Deputies said two children, possibly between 5 and 7 years old, have been hospitalized. Officials said they appear to be in fair condition.
It's unclear if any other occupants are inside the vehicle, and search efforts are ongoing.
SkyEye flew over the scene, where multiple law enforcement officers could be seen surrounding the area.
Investigators are still trying to determine what may have led the car to fall into the water, though it's possible the driver had some type of medical emergency.
