RENO, Nev. – Police in Nevada found a 48-year-old homeless
woman inside a vehicle fully buried in snow this month after it was struck by a
snowplow clearing the street.
The woman was alive and well, according to South Lake Tahoe
spokesman Chris Fiore, but her vehicle was completely buried and undetectable
to the plow driver.
The plow operator and police who responded to help dig the
car out on Feb. 17 had no idea there was a person inside until they saw a hand
pressed against the window, Fiore said.
"With that much snow piled on top of the car ... if the
snowplow hadn't hit the back of it we could be having a much different
conversation," he said. "She could have suffocated."
