Out today down by a local river and walking in an area I had never been and would never have gone if not for trying to get a boat entry shot for the latest challenge. Happened to see a car mired in the mud next to the river. Zooming in with the camera I saw a hand barely visible in the front seat. Confirming there was someone in the car, after the 911 call, there was quick response from the Roswell, GA emergency departments. The lady was semi-conscious but safely rescued from the car. She had driven off overnight and might still be there if not for DPC.

| thanks...obviously it was just timing...everyone would have done the same. Lesson learned though is not to assume a car off the road is abandoned. My first inclination was to do just that. |

Question is... did you still manage to get a shot for the challenge?
Seriously though, great job - she's one lucky lady. |

Call on her, and tell her about DPC.
Maybe we can a story from her...even a registration.
She looks like a potential photographer.
Anyone want to give her a membership?
Way to go anyway. Nice job.

...and furthermore, those were great shots you took and posted. Congratulations on your quick thinking. It would be a nice gesture if you do happen to send along the images to the EMTs and maybe an extra copy for the lady on the receiving end. |

Hubby says you probably ran her off the road to get the shot. HE knows DPCers and the lengths they'd go! ;)
Seriously though, you're a hero :D Way to go!! |

Life works out that way sometimes. It's great to see some good news, and to feel that DPC was part of the reason for her rescue. Thumbs up, and a : ) button for ya!
