Little Girl Walks Mile For Help After Car Wreck
POSTED: 4:27 pm EST March 4, 2006
MATOAKA, W.Va. -- A 7-year-old may have saved her grandmother's life after their SUV flipped in rural West Virginia.
Authorities said the vehicle slipped off a mountain road and rolled at least seven times. The adult was trapped -- but the child was able to wiggle out, climb a 100-foot hill and walk more than a mile for help.
A Mercer County sheriff's office spokesman said little Danyelle Kinser only had a few scratches and bruises, but kept her cool and "managed to save" her grandmother's life.
The grandmother said the family is proud of Danyelle, who is known for always being ready to help people.
I would be proud of her too.
Brave little girl.
Danyelle deserves a pony! Searchers may have taken days to spot the vehicle way down a 100 foot gully.
Look out for big things from this little sister!
Me, too. I have a 7 year old daughter and although I'd like to think she'd do the same for me, I'm currently having visions of her finding help, asking them for string cheese and a SpongeBob video and then remembering that I was in the car after it dawned on her that she needed help with her homework.
Good Girl!
LOL
Well, actually, when shocked out of their usual safe routines, kids can be amazingly responsible.
Heart warming story! Thanks for posting will bookmark this in my FR Links.
Catholic theology lets children this age go to communion, on the grounds that seven is the age of reason. Some children, of course, reach this level years before.
