Woman endured 18 hours with hand stuck under hood of truck
A 68-year-old woman survived nearly a day with her hand stuck under the
hood of her truck in rural Clackamas County, Oregon, about 15 miles
south of Molalla.
The woman was working on her truck at around 5pm on Wednesday when the
hood came crashing down on her hand. She was trapped until 11am on
Thursday.
"I've never seen someone with their hand stuck under the hood like that," said Chief Vince Stafford of the Molalla Fire Department. The woman suffered through cold, wind and snow flurries overnight.
She was not freed until some neighbors on horseback heard her faint
screams for help. "She was able to jog in place, is what she told
paramedics," said Stafford. "Very, very tough lady and courageous." She
is said to be in a serious condition.
