Three Children Rescued From Minivan After Mother Intentionally Drives Into Ocean

On Tuesday evening near Daytona Beach, Florida, a 31-year-old pregnant mother intentionally drove her minivan into the Atlantic Ocean with her three children inside. Canadian tourist Simon Besner was offshore and captured the dramatic rescue on camera. The children, ages 3, 9 and 10, were not injured in the incident and were reportedly screaming, ‘our mommy’s trying to kill us’, moments before the van plunged into the ocean. The mother is currently undergoing a mental health evaluation and the children will be placed with relatives, pending background checks.
