Brieonna Cassell Survives Six Days in Brook Ditch

Brieonna Cassell, a 41-year-old mother of three, survived six days trapped in her car after crashing into a ditch in Brook, Indiana. Cassell fell asleep at the wheel while driving to visit a friend and veered off the road into a deep, concealed ditch. She endured severe pain and dehydration, using her hoodie to collect water from a nearby creek to survive. Unable to reach her phone, Cassell's cries for help went unheard by passing traffic until Johnny Martinez, a worker operating drainage equipment, discovered her vehicle. Rescued and airlifted to a hospital, she sustained serious injuries, including severe leg damage. Cassell's story is hailed as a testament to her will to live.
