A dramatic\u00a0rescue operation in Texas\u00a0saved a young woman\u2019s life after she had been trapped for days in a steep ravine.<\/p>\n
At about 5:25 p.m. local time on June 28, a young man heard faint cries for help coming from a wooded area behind a nearby high school.<\/p>\n
While investigating the sounds, he found a young woman who had been trapped in a ravine for days, stuck in deep mud and sewage.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Dallas Police Department\u00a0and Dallas Fire-Rescue immediately launched a joint operation, with first responders facing 104-degree heat and navigating a quarter-mile of treacherous terrain to reach the woman.<\/p>\n
Rescuers were able to\u00a0pull the woman out\u00a0of the muck and rushed her to a local hospital, where she was treated for severe dehydration, prolonged sun exposure and other injuries.<\/p>\n
It is unclear how the woman got stuck.<\/p>\n
