WICKENBURG, Ariz. — A woman was found six days after her car plunged off the road and landed 50 feet below atop a tree, highway officials said.
A 53-year-old woman was driving Oct. 12 when she lost control of her vehicle and broke through a fence before landing in a tree, officials said.
The woman was found Oct. 18 when a crew with the Arizona Department of Transportation and a rancher found the broken fence and saw the vehicle in the tree.
Rescuers tracked her footprints to a river bed, where they found the dehydrated woman, who was taken to a hospital.
