The infant was inside the vehicle, but emergency responders were not able to find the child during the initial search. The search was suspended on Saturday night.

The child was located just before noon on Sunday in the Trinity River. FOX 4 crews spotted what appeared to be distraught family members on the riverbank on Sunday.

The fire department dive team and other sources assisted with the search.

What they're saying:

Some Fort Worth residents, like Jackie Cedillo, felt compelled to drop off flowers.

Cedillo goes to church near the area of the crash.

"When I was crossing the bridge, it barely had happened. There was cops, ambulance, it was scary," she said. "I don’t know the family, but I can give all my condolences and tell them that they are not alone."

Cedillo hopes the family finds comfort knowing that people are thinking of them.

"What they’re going through right now, God is with them," she said.
