Deputies and firefighters responded to a report of a possible drowning at the Red Roof Inn, 204 Village Court, Los Angeles County sheriff’s Sgt Vicki Gregory said.
The boy had apparently briefly fallen into a hot tub, she said.
The child was conscious and breathing when rescuers arrived, Gregory said, however paramedics determined he required immediate medical attention. The boy was rushed to a hospital via a deputy’s patrol car with emergency lights and sirens activated.
The boy’s exact condition was unavailable Thursday.
The boy was being supervised by his parents when he tumbled into the hot tub, Gregory said, and nothing criminal was suspected.
