Trooper rescues 2-year-old who went missing near Canandaigua

New York State Police say an on-duty trooper found a missing 2-year-old girl sitting on a rock in the middle of a stream.

A search had been underway in the South Bristol area for her whereabouts.


Trooper Brian Hotchkiss found the child, then carried her to safety. She was located after approximately one hour of searching.

She was brought back to her home, and was not seriously injured. Troopers described her condition as ‘cold but alert’ in a Facebook post.
