Kristen was traveling that day with her 4-year-old daughter when her car crashed and veered into a ditch. After 12 hours of slowly freezing to death, the mother decided to brave the cold to look for help. Her legs and hands were frostbitten and she had two broken arms and a leg, but she had no choice if she and her daughter were to make it out alive. Their car was not visible from the road, so Kristen climbed to the highway guardrail to look for help, leaving her daughter in the car.
When Tina saw Kristen’s daughter in the back seat, the girl was in fetal position and looked dead.
“All I said to 911 was ‘I think we need the Jaws of Life,’ because I didn’t think that little girl was going to be alive in there,” Tina said. Luckily, though, the girl survived wrapped in a blanket in the back seat of the car. She was scraped up a bit and had frostbite on one of her legs, but she was alive.
“She’s the hero. I don’t know how she went through all that pain,” Tina said. “She had the will to live, that girl.”
If you think it was more than luck that brought Tina to Kristen and her daughter, share with others!
