3-Year-Old Girl Survives Desert Accident

GLOBE, Ariz. - A 3-year-old girl survived five days alone in a car after an accident that killed her mother, authorities said.

Angel Emery was airlifted to Maricopa Medical Center, where she was being treated Monday for dehydration and severe frostbite on her feet.

"The only thing she could share with us is that she had been eating crackers and that's how she was able to survive these long days out in the elements," said Sgt. Frank Valenzuela, a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Public Safety. He said the girl was expected to recover.

Authorities said Angel's 44-year-old mother, Patricia Marie Emery-Wade, died in the wreck, which apparently happened the afternoon of Jan. 21 on U.S. 60 in the east-central part of the state.

The woman's car hit a tree about 40 feet off the highway and 20 feet down an embankment, making it nearly impossible to see from the roadway.

A passer-by finally saw the smashed car Monday morning and alerted authorities, who found the girl inside, wrapped in a blanket and cuddled next to her dead mother. Authorities say they believe Angel got out of her car seat and got under the blanket.

The family's dog, a pug, also died in the crash.

Awww, we have two pugs. That's sad about the doggy and mom, but at least the little girl is okay. That's so sad.
