Amazing story..........a family friend dreamt where this girl's car had gone off the road and went looking for the spot identified in her dreams. Had she not had the dream, its unlikely they would have found the girl until it was too late.

When the rescuers showed up......the girl's first words were she was afraid she might be late for her curfew. <g>

Teen Survives for Eight Days in Car

The Associated Press

SEATTLE Oct. 12, 2004 — A 17-year-old girl who survived eight days after her car crashed and tumbled 200 feet down a ravine may have been saved by her own dehydration, which prevented the expansion of a blood clot in her brain, doctors said.

Laura Hatch's family had almost given her up for dead, and sheriff's deputies had all but written her off as a runaway. Then she was found, badly hurt and severely dehydrated, but alive and conscious, in the back seat of her crumpled Toyota Camry.

A volunteer searcher who said she had had several vivid dreams of a wooded area found the wrecked car in the trees Sunday.

"It's an extraordinary tale of survival," said King County sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart.

"It doesn't always work out like that," Ellenbogen said. "This is a good story. We're hoping it has a really happy ending."
