Woman survives for 5 days stuck in crashed car by eating bananas

A Washington woman was found alive in her vehicle five days after her vehicle went over a 40-foot embankment. Seventy year old Sharon Lee Leaming had been missing since May 23 and was finally found on Sunday.



Leaming's family told KIRO-TV she survived by consuming what little water and food she had in the car, which included bananas and Pop Tarts. A family member found where she went off the road.

"My cousin Bob, he was walking the road instead of driving along the road and saw that the grass was down, and so he called my cousin Jerry and went searching down the ravine," Leaming's niece, Tiffany Kolb, told KIRO-TV.

Sgt. Dave Odegaard of the sheriff's office said Leaming was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The Washington State Patrol told KIRO-TV that she's recovering at a hospital in Tacoma.
