And you thought YOU were having a BAD WEEK.....


WILDWOOD -- A Sunrise woman spent the night trapped in her upside-down car in a Central Florida canal and breathing from an air pocket before the vehicle was noticed by a passing tow truck driver and she was rescued.

When rescuers arrived, Davis heard them and yelled out, troopers said. They said she had spent the night -- more than 13 hours -- with much of her body submerged in the flooded, overturned car , but was able to breath from an air pocket that formed between the upside-down seats. The air pocket was said to be 6 to 8 inches deep and over the passenger seat. She told rescuers she tried to get out of the car severaltimes, but could not escape from the vehicle.

2. I bet that her fingers and toes were awfully prune-like.
On one hand, it must have been terribly frightening for her. On the other, she has a great story to tell the grandkids. Good for her.
