Positivity: Accident victim thanks man for finding her, calling for help
Worker emptying trash spotted woman trapped under her Jeep
October 6, 2007DENVER (KWGN) — A Castle Rock woman is recovering after a harrowing experience that nearly cost her her life. On Friday, she finally had the opportunity to say thank you to the man who saved her life. She is now on the road to recovery at the Briarwood Rehabilitation Center in Denver.
Kathy Evans had tears in her eyes as she talked about the man who saved her life a few weeks ago.
“He’s a good man,” said Evans. “I’d like to give him a hug because he went above and beyond the call of duty.”
Kathy is talking about Andrew Robbins. On September 19th, Robbins found Kathy lying underneath her Jeep at a campground in the mountains.
“My feet caught on the straps in the Jeep, and I lost my balance and fell out,” said Evans. “I knew I was in trouble because I couldn’t move.”
For two days, Kathy was lying in the dirt.
“I thought I was dead,” said Evans.
Until Robbins spotted her while on his trash route, that is.
“And he pulled up and he just jumped out of his truck and barreled over towards me,” said Evans. Robbins then called 911.
Evans was in such bad shape that she had to be airlifted to Swedish Medical Center.
“He literally saved my life,” said Evans. “I’d have been dead because it was real close. Because I was so close to being dead when they got me to the hospital. I was so close to freezing to death.”
