A 41-year-old woman was found alive on Tuesday after being trapped in her car for six days following a crash in northwest Indiana, officials said. Brieonna Cassell disappeared last Wednesday after leaving her mother’s home to visit a friend near the towns of Wheatfield and DeMotte, Indiana, according to CNN affiliate WLS. The mother of three reportedly fell asleep behind the wheel before veering off the road into a deep ditch in the small town of Brook, around 80 miles south of Chicago, WLS reported. Cassell’s car had crashed off the road, out of view from passing traffic, and no one could hear her calls for help, family and the Newton County sheriff’s office said. Cassell was also unable to move her legs after being injured in the crash, her parents said in a news conference Tuesday. Her phone also lost power, so to survive, Cassell used her sweater to retrieve water from a nearby creek –– wringing it into water and drinking from it, her father, Delmar Caldwell, told reporters.
