Girl nearly drowns in Lake Havasu

The sheriff's office says the girl was in a designated swim area with other kids when "older juveniles" lost sight of her. A family member found her on the lake's bottom, about 4 feet down.

The girl was initially taken to Havasu Regional Medical Center and was then flown to a Las Vegas hospital. She's in extremely critical condition, deputies say.

No more information is available.
