California Woman Rescued After 15 Hours Stranded on Overturned Car in Flood

A camper's alert leads to helicopter rescue operation; woman sustains minor injuries and is expected to recover fully.

A woman in California was rescued after spending nearly 15 hours stranded on top of her overturned car in a flooded creek.
The woman attempted to cross the flooded road on Monday evening but underestimated the water's depth, resulting in her car being swept away and overturned.
She managed to swim out of her car and climb onto the top, but she had lost her cell phone in the chaos and had no way to call for help.
A camper spotted the woman on Tuesday morning and alerted the authorities, who then conducted a helicopter rescue operation.
The woman was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries and is expected to make a full recovery.
