What was supposed to be a family fun day has turned into the ultimate tragedy.
A mother from Jermyn, Pennsylvania has been confirmed dead after she drowned in an ATV accident while riding with her two young children and husband on Saturday at Aylesworth Park. According to the Lackawanna County Coroner’s Office via NBC News on Monday, Jamie Uchic’s cause of death was deemed an accidental drowning after her vehicle was submerged in a deep puddle.
Archbald Police Chief Tim Trently explained to the outlet on Saturday that the ATV drove into a puddle that was much deeper than expected – approximately four to five feet deep! It then rolled over and was completely submerged in the water. Jamie, 37, was unable to free herself, but her husband Steve Uchic was able to get himself and their children, Weston and Arya, out safely.

We cannot imagine how devastating that walk into town must have been…
A GoFundMe page was set up on Monday “to help Steve lessen the burdens of everyday expenses and also in helping her children that were left behind.” The statement about the fundraiser read:
