( CNN ) -- Two of the five children pulled from a car Thursday after it plunged into an icy pond in Minnesota have died . Five-year-old Zenavia Rennie died , according to Lt. Eric Roeske with the Minnesota State Patrol . Later Thursday , seven-year-old Alarious Coleman-Guerrido died , family member , Tamy Johnson told CNN affiliate KARE . The other three children -- ranging in ages of 1 to 6 -- suffered serious injuries , according to the Minnesota State Patrol , which received a report of the car sinking in a retention pond early in the morning . The 1998 Pontiac Grand Am , the children were traveling in , ran off the road into the water , which was about 9 feet deep . Its driver , 23-year-old Marion Guerrido , got out of the car on her own , and suffered no apparent injuries . Those who lived near the scene said they heard Marion Guerrido 's harrowing wails for help . `` She was screaming we could not hear what she was saying , '' Jessica Ressler told KARE . One neighbor said he saw a man jump in the water before emergency crews arrived and desperately tried to help Guerrido get the kids out of the car but could n't , KARE reported . Medical personnel initially attempted to reach the vehicle . But because of the cold water , and how far the car sank , they were unable to get to the children immediately , according to Roeske . The first child was removed some 20 minutes after the incident began ; the last child was in the water for roughly 40 minutes , he said . Authorities do not believe weather , drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash , which is under investigation . Guerrido is the mother of three of the five victims . The others are her stepchildren , KARE reported . `` Devastating . It does not get any worse than that , '' John Sedey , executive director of Odeyssey Acedemy the school that four of five children attended , told KARE `` It 's devastating to our staff because everybody feels so close to all of our students .
