A tale of survival

A tale of survival

Car crash victim survives five-day ordeal by drinking water from her hair

The remarkable tale of human endurance began on the evening of 10 September, when Hoover swerved to avoid a herd of deer on a road high in the mountains. Her car ran off the road and plunged down the hillside, landing on its top.

Suffering from a dozen broken ribs, fractured vertebrae, a punctured lung and severely bruised face, Hoover escaped from the car. It was then that she discovered she was more than 350ft from the road, in a spot where her vehicle could not be seen by passing cars.
