Mountain Miracle: Woman Survives 5 Days Following Crash
Severely Injured Granby Woman Crawls Down Hillside For Help

CENTRAL CITY, Colo. -- A Colorado woman who spent five days on the side of a mountain after being severely injured was recovering Friday in Denver.

Authorities said Cynthia Hoover was heading home on the Central City Parkway the evening of Sept. 10, when a herd of deer crossed the road. Hoover swerved to miss the deer and her car went off the parkway, rolling down a steep hillside and landing on its top.

Hoover sustained broken ribs, broken vertebrate and a punctured lung in the crash.

Her Volkswagen Passat landed in a spot, about 350 feet off the parkway, where it couldn't be seen from the road which connects Interstate 70 with Central City. Hoover waited for help but it never came.

1. That is one tough lady. And when you read about all the things that lined up to save her
you have to wonder if there was some serious karmic balancing going on.

4. Stories like this confirm
that fasting, real fasting, is possible for human beings.

On another topic, I myself had a brush with death but much less dramatic. (I had a heart arrythmia in the presence of my wife and daughter, but moments earlier I would have been blocks away in an unknown (to them) place using a public restroom.)
