Another boy died after his
family's car plunged into 30ft of water at Los Angeles harbour.
The eight-year-old died in
hospital on Friday afternoon, authorities told City News Service.
Neither the boy nor his
13-year-old brother were breathing when rescue divers pulled them from the
submerged vehicle on Thursday.
The older brother was
pronounced dead at hospital several hours after the incident.
Witnesses heard the boys'
parents screaming after they managed to swim to the surface.
"A mother and a father
were like, 'Help us! Help us! My kids are sinking! They’re drowning!'"
Roger Velasu told CBS Los Angeles.
Their vehicle plunged off
the road at Berth 73 after the family left a carpark in the Ports O' Call
entertainment district in San Pedro.
Around 100 firefighters,
divers and helicopter and boat crews were involved in the emergency response.
Police said the plunge was
being investigated as an accident.
