"BESANCON - Une habitante de Clerval (Doubs), Isabelle Burnel, 43 ans, a été retrouvée blessée après être restée prisonnière de sa voiture accidentée pendant six jours rapporte "L'Est Républicain" mardi.

Un jeune agriculteur, Nathanaël Mougey, a aperçu par hasard, lundi après-midi, un véhicule tombé en contrebas d'un talus de 15 mètres, près d'Anteuil (Doubs). Accrochée par la ceinture de sécurité et bloquée au niveau des jambes, la victime n'avait pu saisir son sac où se trouvait son téléphone portable.

Par chance, la voiture ne s'était pas retournée. Très affaiblie, mais bien vivante, l'accidentée a été transportée au CHU de Besançon par les pompiers. Elle avait été signalée disparue le 18 septembre.

La veille, elles était allée rendre visite à ses parents. Elle a probablement perdu le contrôle de sa voiture sur la route du retour, vers 20H. Depuis, les recherches de la gendarmerie étaient restées vaines. AP

Rough translation :
A 43 year old woman has been found, trapped in her damaged car, after spending 6 days in it.
On monday, a farmer saw her car, which had fallen down a 15m embankment.
Hanging from her safety belt, her legs trapped, the victim had been unable to reach her purse, where her cell phone was.

Hopefully, the car did not overturn.
Very weak, but alive, she has been transported to hospital.
She was reported missing, since sept. 18th.
The previous day, she went to visit her parents. She certainly lost control of her car, on the way back, around 20:00:00.
Since that time, search by the "Gendarmerie" had been unsuccessful.

First I heard of this on the radio, the reporter was horrified that this woman "spent 6 days without any water, nor any food" ...
food seeming the biggest concern for that reporter...
