A routine police response to a crash in Lakeland, Florida, turned into a search through a dark swamp after police said a man fled the scene with two young children. Officers later found the children in dangerous marshland after a police drone located 27-year-old Isaac Kinsey.

Kinsey is accused of driving under the influence before crashing his vehicle and fleeing from officers with a 2-year-old child and a 10-month-old baby. Police said he repeatedly struggled through the swamp, with the children becoming submerged in standing water before he eventually left the toddler behind and continued with the infant.
