Woman Trapped In Her Car For 5 Days Before We Recovered It 

the fact that she escaped and crawled up that hill is a testament to her will to live, what ever demons she went through she found the courage to fight that on the brink of death and told herself she would survive. One hell of a determination.

Being a local this story is only a couple of days old. That means that HeavyD pretty much dropped everything to get the car out of that ravine. I am glad to see that the family is taken care of.

I dug a little deeper and found out she was 64yrs old at the time. 64! So she had tumbled/flipped down a 300ft ravine, stayed in her car for 5 days (probably with no food or water), with broken ribs and a broken sternum, took two days to climb up the 300ft ravine, and then was found by a biker at just the right time. God was absolutely watching over her, she has a longer life to live❤️ she is definitely a strong woman.

It’s amazing she survived. Obviously she was meant to stay for a reason. I hope she recovers and finds peace in life.

As a disabled Veteran this story hits home, 22 veterans take their lives every day. If your suffering from depression get help please. Twenty-four years ago my brother took his life. The hurt it causes even to this day for my family is too hard to explain. Don't be ashamed to ask for help.

The human spirit never ceases to amaze me when faced with great adversity. This 64yr old woman should have not survived this crash let alone staying alive 5 days in the car plus the time it took to drag herself up 300 ft to the road. She has in every sense of the word has earned the title of “Warrior”. Thank you Dave for picking up this recovery and story so quickly after it happened. Her story needed to be told to inspire others. Thanks Dave and team for inspiring us to always put our best foot forward to help others and to keep our community’s clean and beautiful! You guys ROCK!

I’ve cared for MVA patients in an ICU with multiple broken ribs and broken sternum who end up on a ventilator within 24 hours so Her soul was not listening to her mind trying to give up!! Amazing and absolutely spiritually uplifting

Her story hits so close to home. I was in a very very similar crash. Mental health issues, abuse, alcohol and loss are horrible. This gave me chills when they said July 26th bc that was the day of my fiery accident/NDE but in 2006. The good Lord saved me and I was Baptised in Aug that year 🙏 I was 22 I'm now 39. I'm a welder/fabricator not a wordsmith but I hope anyone reading that needs help can find Jesus 🙏 and I will be praying for them as well.

Depression is a different breed of hurt. I personally deal with it. Some days are better than others. Great job guys.

If this isn’t a women that is supposed to live, and be on this earth for a good reason then I don’t know what is. Praying for her and her family

It now suicide awareness month, this serves to show how precious life is. It also, shows us the will to live is stronger than our brain let's on. I'm thankful you put numbers on there for others struggling. Guys, you mean something in this world. You're loved and valued. Realize how much you are needed!

I'm so curious about the details of this womans' experience being down there and climbing out. It would be awesome if you guys would see if she's willing to do an interview with you once she's feeling better and healed up. Sending her best wishes of a smooth and quick recovery.

I lost my brother last week to suicide. This really breaks my heart. I hope she gets the help needed. Much love.

The moral of the story: Life want's to continue. The strength and willpower it took to drag herself up that hill overpowered her temporary wish to die. Get help if you feel hopeless. Don't let a temporary feeling end a beautiful existence. Thanks for sharing this with us!!

Thank God she survived what an incredible story.

I'm glad she's okay. I think she needs to get that car for her birthday with a few letters from her family to tell her how much she's cared about.

Just when I thought you guys couldn't do any better.........you go and drop this absolute masterpiece. Beautiful people, doing beautiful things, to make the world a better place. Love you guys. Keep feeding the world with good. Doing gods work.

Now this is the type of content that Heavy D team is all about and why we all support this great channel. I live in the area and heard about this on the local news over the last few days. This is a real time and active on-going story. We're all praying for her safe recovery. Big thanks to the Sparks organization for they do to support our community.

Sometimes it takes extraordinary events to wake us up to how wonderful life truly is. August 26, 2019, I was pulled from a tanker truck, beside the highway and tossed into an ambulance due to a brainstem stroke. It has been a wild, humbling experience. I know it's nothing compared to what she went through, but we have our own traumatic events, regardless of how mild or severe.

Praying for her. Depression is not a joke!

Heavy D has once again shown an act of selflessness. I'm sure that he will be recognized for this. He has done so much for a lot of people, whether it's doing something like this or his awesome truck builds that usually are give aways.

This was quite a story and I am very impressed with the recovery. I can't believe she lived through that and then crawled up that steep hill with the kind of pain she must have been in. Great work guys.

You Gentlemen are Angels,hard working ,brilliant ,patient and, handsomely grubby.God bless your families ,and the ones you've helped. The music was perfect for the recovery,somber and reflective. Thank you ☺️

It's incredible how every single part of the car is smashed all out of shape but the drivers side front door looked almost untouched. If it had been crumpled like the rest of the car she might not have been able to get any of the doors open to get out.

FWIW - if the opportunity arises it may be helpful one day for her to hear how strong she was to survive that, climb out even with injuries, and to live on. It might help her to know that she has some strength greater than whatever weighed on her that day. Stronger than many of us to be sure. Dave and his crew are good folks, it's not just a car recovery, it's someone's life and story. Very respectful to say the least.

The woman is my best friends mom. Thank you for doing this and shedding light.

I hope this lady has a whole new appreciation of life and she will have a new understanding of how powerful her drive can be struggling up that distance all busted and broken.

I respect that women for making it to the top and happy she is still alive. She has a Purpose in life.

Thank you for all your sympathy I have had my thoughts of hurting myself from my military stuff and I appreciate the sensitivity you guys have for the situation

I love how you dont judge and take this seriously cause it is. Seems so many dismiss it or hush it and it needs be talked about and often.

I've said this before. You all are the real deal. My first RU-vid show I saw of yours was when you helped out Craig. I though that was amazing. It touched my soul. There are still people who care for other and not just themself. So I got to digging around. Watching your shows from year or so back. You and your team are very special people I hope you prosper, have good health, and a happy blessed life. May god bless you all. If there is ever a need gentlemen i will help in anyway I can. I live in Missouri in a small town of 3000. I'm not wealthy but a person can help in other ways. Before my husband got sick we had means to help. That was the way I was raised Someone needs your help. You do what you can. My husband has slowed down but he's not gonna stop helping people who need it. He loves to work.(I know it sounds crazy but true.) Hunt. Fish. Just being outdoor( crazy I tell him). I said this in last post about him being afraid that something would happen. So he hasn't went fishing. He's not that agile man any more. Everyone knows who he is. All they need to call and if he can't you can beat he'll send someone. My son stays by his fathers side when they do roof on weekends. May god bless you and keep up the good work. If you have a patronage. I could send money. It may not be alot but every little helps. Might by gas.

It’s amazing the things you guys do, for others and surrounding communities. Even places around the country.

A big thanks to HeavyD and crew for helping this family in crisis. I have been helping my wife with her severe bi-polar depression for 40+ years now, but had absolutely no clue about depression prior to meeting her. What the average person who is never exposed to depression often does not understand is that in many cases, a person suffering a manic depressive low is experiencing extreme physical pain. Most of you have awakened at night to a muscle cramp in your thigh…..imagine every muscle in your body doing that at the same time….for hours. On top of that physical pain, you also believe that every person on the planet hates you and wants you dead. It is a private hell where you believe death has got to be better than this. This is a situation that a box of candy or a couple of good beers won’t help. The people close to the depressed person must recognize the symptoms and get this person professional help. Medication controls the symptoms that lead to that dark place of excruciating pain and suffering. Logic and reason have no power in this situation. I know this from 4 decades of dealing with this daily. I am no psychiatrist or psychologist, just a loving husband. Trust me….do not try to deal with depression of a friend of loved one on your own……seek professional help.

I just want to say thank you Dave and the rest of the crew… I myself have been struggling lately and thanks to you and what you guys do and due to this video I’m thinking differently about the way things should be.. After surviving a rollover accident at work in a 5 ton water truck, I’ve been having a hard time trying to figure out why I didn’t die in my accident.. People tell me that it’s because it wasn’t my time or God has more important things for me to do.. But honestly I don’t know why and lately I’ve been in a fairly dark place in life.. But after watching this video and listening to what Dave said, i’m starting to see a little bit of light.. Thank you Dave for everything you guys do..

I broke 5 ribs in Feb. It took me nearly 15 minutes to get up and limp into my house, I was in our attached garage. There is more at work in this woman's story than we know. That incline with those injuries + dehydration & lack of food? It's fine if you disagree, but life has ways of showing us how strong we are when we feel weak. God bless that woman. I hope she finds peace.

Hats off to you guys for shining a light on Mental Illness, and the sensitive way in which you allowed us all to understanding her courage to fight for her life... Credit goes to the car for protecting her and allowing her to make it out alive.. I wish her well and hope this life changing moment.. and her fight for life takes her on a much different journey in life.

This will be some people’s reason to keep going for today… Thank you guys for being so awesome. You guys are fulfilling your purpose on this planet more and more all the time, and it’s beautiful to witness.

It would have been easy for her to give up when a few days had passed, but she made the decision to live and nothing could stop her, not even a 300 foot ascent. Awesome.

Thanks Heavyd and crew for bringing awareness and helping out the family. It's amazing that she made it up that hill and amazing timing for the guy out there on his bike. Great job!

I have ran a tow truck since I was a kid. I know how much work that is. You made it look easy. Hats off to the riggers and pullers

Excellent work, guys! In case nobody has told you this, your whole group are some of the most wonderful people on EARTH!

We need to get this out there more, man, woman or child, its ok to talk about how you're feeling inside. We find it easy to tell people when we're physically unwell with someting like a cold or a bad back. The mind is just another part of the body and letting others know we're not feeling well mentally, for what ever reason, needs to be made perfectly acceptable and without any stigma. It is not a weakness and there is nothing wrong in asking for help. ITS GOOD TO TALK...

The fact that she survived this for days alone there is insane something must have been watching over her

The good Lord has a reason keeping her here and all should listen… Thank you Heavy D 🥰 a job well done… God Bless and Gods Speed 🙏🙏🥰💕

Thanks Dave for covering this very important topic about mental health ! I´m struggling with severe depression and loneliness and yes, also suicidal thoughts, for many years, even decades. Means i can understand the mental state people are in when they feel they have no energy and will to live anymore. But, as always, your videos are heartwarming, especially when you help other people. Cerro Gordo, that Farmer you brought Truckloads of hay, that guy on the houseboat at the lake, AWP and many others. Please continue with this type of content. I love ALL your videos.

My thoughts and prayers are with this lady and for those that love her and value her life. Thanks for bringing more awareness to mental heath.

Honestly the car held up pretty well for what it went through. Nothing was crushed flat and even the windows are in tact. Pretty amazing!

The guys are "Ruff and Tuff" but when a person is down and out and in Need....They have "Hearts of Gold"!

Suicide crossed my mind, sometimes you want someone to help you and nobody will, ending your life is the easiest thing to do, when you go all the problems go away, thank you for the contents, keep doing what you guys do and God bless you and your family

I hope the lady gets the help she needs to feel better. It will be a long road for her physically & mentally & emotionally. I have prayed for her in this life crisis 🙏 HeavyDSparks you & your crew are amazing people. For real man❤

To the woman who crashed, I’m glad you are here. Thank you for everything guys.

Someone All Powerful was looking out for her showing her life is more precious than she thought

I was at that point 14 years ago and but for a similar miracle I would not be here. The darkness is indescribable and its awesome you are bringing awareness. You guys rock!

I lost my best friend 2 years ago to suicide. It's hard to deal with when you don't know why or what they were thinking. I'm glad she got a second chance at life, and realises there's loads of people out there she can turn to. Well done lads 👍

Hey guys my name is actually Trina Parks and I love what you do❤❤. This video has been amazing to watch! The woman that survived is here for a reason! Only God could have gotten her up that hill! Bless you all🙏🙏

You can't judge someone for being so depressed they don't want to live anymore. Sometimes, life is so complex that for some, they can't see a way out. There but for some grace, go a lot of us.

These stories y'all put out on RU-vid are important. That was an incredible story; she wasnt meant to die that day. Thanks for the work y'all do.

This is the kind of content that really makes a difference, thank you Dave for caring enough to do this. Keep up the good work.

I’m a great believer in the saying , when your time is up , it’s up. It wasn’t time for this lady to leave yet. She has a purpose. TFS blessings to all. 🙏💜👍🏻

Prayers for this lady, depression is a monster that's hard to overcome..and thank you guys for all that u do & for the respect you show in ur videos..

That car looks remarkably well for what it went thru. I'm glad she survived and is getting the help she needs

This lady is already a fighter and a survivor. She had the strength and willpower to make it trapped in the car for days. Not to mention climbing that hill with injuries. If she ever reads this just know that you have a lot to live for! Stay strong, keep the faith and fight the battle! You ARE a warrior!

Excellent editing, to create a compelling heart-felt storyline.

I love how you guys went from building trucks and selling custom vehicles to saving and recovering people

Dave Sparks and his team are straight up genuine A Class fellas. Everything they do is always heart felt and always willing to help…

The woman is a gladiator to do what she had to do in the shape she was in. Praying for a speedy recovery and she has seen how the importance of life is. Even when the chips are down. Diesel Dave and Dave along with his team are tops. Total professionalism and compassion. You are all saints.

It's inspiring how you guys jump at the opportunity to help whenever you can doing recoveries or helping your friends with whatever situation they are facing. I hope you realize how much of a blessing you are to your community and friends. I love the diesel brothers and even though I'm half way across the world in South Africa I still watch your content every chance I get. Heavy D is such a humble and down to earth guy, Diesel Dave is such a lovable character as well as Hans. I also love Hunter for his creativity and hard work. In fact I love all you guys. I love the recoveries, the yankam ropes and all the toys including the freedom bus and 5 ton. All the snow toys are awesome as well and u guys just hive me amazing content with lots of new friends. Keep up the good work fellas

When I lost my older brother, life no longer mattered to me. Before then, I never had those types of feelings. Always wondered how someone could feel that way. When you're broken to your core, nothing matters. Everything is meaningless, and nothing can help you feel any better about the situation. They say Time heals all, but I think time heals nothing. You never really heal, you just learn how to cope in a healthier way. It's a weird feeling because you don't want to spend anymore time doing anything but all you want is time to pass so you can try to cope.

This world needs more general good guys like Dave and Dave Never a disappointment when you guys do an upload.. awesome content.

Thank you for having integrity and extreme respect for the victim, the victim's family, and for anyone else suffering with depression and urging them to reach out for help. I commend you for caring. I hope this helps many.

Thanks for sharing this, Dave. As you said a bitter-sweet story. The other videos of yours for the most part portray adventurous fun (Except for Allan losing his place to fire) This was different. A family in pain needed your help and you came-a -runnin" I am glad there are people in the world like you. We need as many as we can get.

You can hear,see and feel the genuine concern and love Dave has... really cool dude....

Thank you HeavyDSparks and DieselDave and Sparksmoter crew for the heartbreaking rescue glade that she was alive

He's got a heart of gold it's a damn good guy he didn't know me from Adam but he gave me 5 minutes of his time that's why I hand carved him something beautiful along with Diesel Dave and Bud

HD you’re amazing! Your heart is unequaled. There are sheep and there are sheep dogs, you sir, are the latter…….in a big way! The World needs needs more like you and your compadres!

This hits close to home as driving off a cliff is my "method" of suicide. Every day is a fight for me. I heard the story but not what the circumstances were. Thank you for showing this and helping.

Your videos always remind me there are amazing people out there willing to help no matter the circumstances..... Thank you for being a genuine human being

I'm so glad she lived. She had an angel with her that day. Thank you guys for doing everything you can to help people. You all are so amazing. GOD BLESS.

This. This is why you are some of the best people on the planet. We definitely need more people like you are your team!

Hopefully she gets the help she needs and doesn't try to end her life again. I can't imagine being trapped for 5 days after intentionally driving off a cliff.

I am so happy to hear this woman is going to be ok. She is a serious FIGHTER! And I always enjoy watching y’all do recoveries, 🙏🏼❤️

This is incredibly hard to watch. As a veteran who struggles with the demons, I know the feeling. To survive that and crawl away from it is a true testimony life having a purpose for everyone. It's a daily struggle, but we all have to push through, when you are tired of pushing, please reach out. Please please PLEASE reach out to someone!

can't express how much i appreciate the things you guys do for the community!

Thank you to everybody who helped bring the car back home.Thank you guys for having such huge hearts and your willingness to help this family. My thoughts and prayers for the lady who is in the hospital now trying to recover and get better so she can go home. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. I pray that the whole family can come together and find peace.

She chose life! What a story she has to tell. Maybe she can help others with her experience. 💪✌️❤️

I hope she finds the peace she needs. There is always someone to listen and hear you, be well young lady. ❤

Going through custody and only thing that keeps me going is my kids and hopefully having em in my arms again needed this today Dave you guys are awesome people helping alot of people with your videos not only the people receiving the help but to your viewers that are battling there own battles gives me hope for humanity that even tho your loaded you still truly care and try and give back props

I love how you guys can be wild & crazy and at the drop of a hat your on the spot helping someone in need. Bless you all.

You can see him holding back tears and I think that really help prove this wasn't a set up at all. This job touched this mans soul. It was real and he saved a life while he may not connect those dots.

I'm in a good place currently, mentally. Depression is a very real and serious thing. It can sneak up on you or build slowly and silently. You have to listen to yourself, if you don't feel normal. Go see someone and tackle it early. Take care of yourself first. It's hard to do. But, you can do it! So happy to see she was blessed with a 2nd chance.

I love how you and your team actually care about people and this earth we live in

Thank you for recovering her car. I live in Brigham City, and we never heard a peep about her missing until she was found. My prayers to her and her family.

Love what you're doing on these Recovery's. As a Flatbed Tow Truck Operator, I do see things that would make things easier but it's all about getting the job done with the equipment at hand. I've also gained ideas that helped me when doing recovery's by watching your videos. Keep up the Positivity and thank you for bringing awareness to mental health because not many people understand wrong when they feel its normal or don't see the issue at hand until its explained a certain way to them.

Thank you guys for doing what you do. Keep on helping the ones that need you.

I hope the lady has a full recovery and gets well soon. How you guys step up to challenges and never back down is motivational, great work in all categories.

What an incredible story! When she realized she unbelievably lived though that, she knew she wasn't meant to die. BTW, I'm always impressed by you guys and your ability to always find a way! Love this channel. 👑🤩 You guys are kings in my book!

Great job. Glad to hear that lady is in the hospital recovering. I hope that they will get her some help to understand what she needs in her life. Thank you for what you all did.

Sir. Can I compliment you and your crew on the way you handled this painful situation. Your words and actions all showed respect for the lady, not the BS that a lesser group of people may use to promote themselves. Job very well done.

I remember that day that she was found i live pretty close to there and love that place. Glad to see you guys were able to help and do the things you do great job absolutely amazing!

I wish this lady the best. I think when people go missing the need to use drones more for these kinds of searches this technology could have found her sooner!
