On May 4th Kristin Hopkins a mother of 4 was found and taken to the hospital after being stranded for 6 days trapped in her car. Her car went off a 120ft cliff along Highway 285 and Mrs. Hopkins does not remember any of it. Hopkins had no food or water during the time and when 2 strangers found her and called the ambulance her internal organs were shutting down and her body temperature was at 77 degrees. Both her feet as well we crushed in the accident and doctors had to amputate them. An umbrella might have been what saved her, Hopkins found an umbrella and wrote "hungry, thirsty, need doctor" and shoved it out the window. Mrs. Hopkins is now doing well and has left the hospital.
