The officer located the vehicle, which police said had lost control, went off-road and barreled through trees and fence before crashing into a drainage pond in the park.
The vehicle was taking on water with four people still trapped inside, police said.
“The supervisor and an officer, without hesitation, leaped into action to conduct a rescue of the four occupants, including a 9-month-old and 3-year-old child,” the department said.
Police said that an unlicensed 27-year-old driver crashed the vehicle into a drainage pond.
