An Indiana woman was rescued from a car crash after being trapped for hours on a little-used road in Gary, Indiana.
The woman was found by a passerby, mechanic Greg Zellers, who was on his way to work and led authorities to the crash site.
Police and emergency responders had spent two hours unsuccessfully searching for the car after a 911 call was made at 3:40 a.m. on New Year's Day.
The woman who was trapped in the car reported that she could not feel her legs and was airlifted to a hospital.
Lake County Sheriff Oscar Martinez commended the efforts of Zellers, the two officers, and first responders, stating their diligence helped to prevent a tragedy.
