Brieonna Cassell, a 41-year-old woman from Wheatfield, Indiana, was missing for six days before being found trapped inside her wrecked vehicle on the side of a road in northwest Indiana. She had fallen asleep behind the wheel on March 5 and sustained two compound fractures in both of her legs. Cassell was discovered by a man operating equipment nearby, who called for help. She was rescued by the chief of the nearby Morocco Fire Department and taken to a Chicago hospital where she is in stable condition but faces a long road to recovery due to her leg injuries. A GoFundMe has been set up to help with her medical expenses. Authorities praised the man who found Cassell and described him as a hero. The Newton County Sheriff’s Office expressed gratitude and appreciation for his quick action in locating Cassell. Her outlook is positive, but surgery is scheduled for Wednesday to address her leg injuries. The community has rallied to support Cassell, with the fundraiser reaching a significant portion of its goal within a short time. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of awareness and quick action in emergency situations.
