Seat Belts Are Your Friend

In an amazing turn of events, an Oldsmobile slid off an icy road near Wasco, Oregon and bounded 150 feet down a steep slope before coming to rest on the head of a 21-year-old female passenger, pinning her under the wreck. Evidently, she had not been using the seat belt and was ejected during the pluge; oddly, she survived. Rescuers used airbags to lift the wreckage sufficiently to free her, and yarded her back upslope to a waiting ambulance.
