Indiana Woman Rescued After Six Days Trapped in Crashed Car

Brieonna Cassell, 41, survived by using her sweatshirt to drink ditch water and was found conscious but severely injured.

Brieonna Cassell, a mother of three, crashed her car in a deep ditch in Brook, Indiana, and was trapped for six days without being visible from the road.
She survived by soaking her sweatshirt in a nearby creek and wringing it out to drink water, as her phone was dead and she could not call for help.
Cassell sustained severe injuries, including compound fractures in both legs, a broken wrist, and broken ribs, and is now in stable condition after being airlifted to a Chicago hospital.
Her vehicle was discovered by Johnny Martinez, a drainage equipment operator, who alerted his supervisor and local authorities, leading to her rescue.
Doctors are monitoring infections in her legs, and while her recovery outlook is positive, she faces a long rehabilitation process, with possible risk of amputation.
