Three toddlers nearly drowned in Riverside County Saturday, one in an apartment complex pool in La Quinta, another in a pond at a Rancho Mirage resort, and a third in a pool at a home in Indio, authorities said.

Firefighters responded about 7:10 p.m. Saturday to a report that a toddler had fell into a pond at the Westin Mission Hills Resort, 71333 Dinah Shore Drive in Rancho Mirage, said April Newman of the Riverside County Fire Department.

The child suffered only minor injuries and was breathing and crying while being taken to a hospital, Newman said.
