- In August 2000, when she was 83 years old, she was driving in Florida when her car was rear-ended and knocked off a bridge. It fell about 40 feet and landed inches above a swamp, caught in mangrove trees. She was trapped for 78 hours in sweltering heat, with only a mint, a cough drop, and a stick of gum. She managed to survive for three days before being rescued.
