Missing Woman Found Alive in Wrecked Car After 8 Days

This is a truly "lucky" story. I was involved in a car accident (fell asleep behind the wheel) and landed up hidden from passersbys. It was only the quick thinking of a night watchman who heard the crash over the sounds of thunder and lightning and alerted the police. They found me about 6 hours later. Two days later I awoke in hospital.

Don't understand the police attitude here in her case though. Surely the police should be more "awake" and not presume. If she had died I would think he would have a good case of negligence against them. 8 days lying in a wreck - remarkable woman.
