A California woman survived four freezing nights and five days in her pickup truck after losing control of her vehicle forced her into a canyon 76 meters below.
The young woman, whose identity remains unknown, was driving her Ford Ranger when she tried to avoid a deer in San Bernardino on January 3, reported the New York Post.
Unable to call for help, she would have managed to survive thanks to the resources she kept in her vehicle, such as blankets since temperatures fell below 0 degrees.
The young woman was finally found on Sunday by a hiker who heard her cry for help.
The victim was finally able to be extracted through the windshield of his pickup thanks to the joint intervention of firefighters, the California Highway Patrol and deputies from the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, detailed the American media.
She was then airlifted to the nearest hospital to receive the necessary treatment. She could suffer from hypothermia, dehydration and malnutrition, as well as a broken ankle.
