Rodeo star Spencer Wright holding onto hope after 3-year-old son found unconscious in water a mile from home

Rodeo star Spencer Wright and his wife are making end-of-life preparations for their 3-year-old son after he was found unconscious in a creek, a close family friend said in updates posted on social media and confirmed to CBS affiliate KUTV. The boy had been playing on his tractor before he ended up in the water and a mile downstream. 

In an interview with KUTV, Wright family friend Mindy Clark said that Spencer Wright's wife, Kallie Wright, had run into the family's home in Beaver County, Utah, for just a moment, and that when she came back out, their son Levi, who just turned 3 in March, was gone. 

"[Kallie] saw his little tractor overturned and immediately dialed 9-1-1 and jumped into the water to find him," Clark said, adding that the family lives near a wash, or dry channel where water will flow through often after heavy precipitation. The Wrights will often drive through it in their truck, she said.
