A Pennsylvania woman is searching Wednesday for the man she says “saved” her life after a car crash, vowing that she needs “to give him a huge hug.”
Carla Long, of Coatsville, told Fox29 that she was heading to a doctor’s appointment Monday when she hit a slick spot along a curve on Route 82 outside Philadelphia, causing her car to flip on its side and go down into a ditch.
“I was pinned. I was screaming, honking, flashing the high beams,” Long told the station, describing that she hit her head and had pain throughout her body. “I’m sitting there crying, like somebody help me.”
An unidentified man eventually approached her and called 911.
