Police: Man Tried To Break Windows To Free Wife, Daughter In Pond

WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (CBS DETROIT/ AP) — An 83-year-old man jumped into a Waterford Township pond and tried to break car windows to free his wife and daughter who died in the water, according to police.

Police say Lloyd Syron mistakenly left the transmission in drive with 81-year-old Mary Syron and 56-year-old Maureen Syron inside when he went into his daughter's home to get clothes.

The vehicle rolled into the pond and both victims had limited mobility before the accident.

Lloyd Syron is co-owner of Pontiac Country Club.
