Young Woman Rescued After Spending Five Days In Ravine
A young woman is now recovering after she was stranded for five days in a raving in North Caroline. The ravine covered her and the pick-up truck that she was in from rescuers. The police said that 21 year old Amber Pennell was discovered Monday night among the wreckage in the trees at the bottom the ravine - which was 100 feet deep.
Her husband Mitchell Pennell said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” that Amber told him she clung to life for the sake of their two young children. He said surgeons put a rod in his wife’s broken leg and that she would be fine despite a broken arm, skull fracture and other injuries.
Emergency officials said workers used ropes to lower themselves into the ravine and worked 30 to 45 minutes to cut her free. Pennell had gone without food or water for five days in the wreckage.
