CALIFORNIA — A Northern California woman was rescued after surviving three nights in her car when she became stranded in a historic snowstorm while driving up a winding mountain road in an attempt to evacuate snowbound relatives, authorities said.
The 43-year-old woman got stuck on Friday night near her home in Laytonville, about 150 miles north of San Francisco, along with her daughter and her daughter's boyfriend when a snowstorm slammed Mendocino County, according to officials.
The lack of cell phone reception in the area prevented her from immediately calling for help, Van Patten said. He said worried loved ones reported her missing when she failed to show up to evacuate her relatives. He said the woman's daughter and boyfriend managed to walk to an empty home to hunker down. But the woman stayed in her car alone waiting for the rescuers, he said.
The Sheriff's Office with the assistance of Mendocino County Search & Rescue and Mendocino County Department of Transportation are currently in the Spy Rock Road area performing requested life/safety rescues due to the snowy conditions left during the recent winter weather systems. Here is a view from the Sheriff's Office Snocat which is currently performing life/safety rescues on Spy Rock Road.
