Person injured in Charlevoix BEI opens investigation –

She survives four nights in her pickup truck, which crashes into a ravine

A California woman survived four freezing nights and five days in her pickup truck after she lost control of her vehicle and plunged into a ravine 250 feet below.

The young woman, whose identity remains unknown, was driving her Ford Ranger on January 3 when she tried to avoid a deer in San Bernardino, the New York Post reported.

Unable to call for help, she would have survived thanks to the supplies she carried in her vehicle, such as blankets, as temperatures fell below 0 degrees.

The young woman was finally found on Sunday by a hiker who heard her screaming for help.

Thanks to the joint efforts of firefighters, the California Highway Patrol and officers from the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, the victim was finally rescued through the windshield of his pickup truck, American media said.

She was then flown to the nearest hospital for necessary treatment. She could be suffering from hypothermia, dehydration and malnutrition, as well as a broken ankle.
