A

Jamie Carrion took her four-year-old daughter, Averie, and her little son, Abel, into her father’s truck and began driving from her parents’ home to her home several hours away. But she hadn’t realized how icy the roads were. Just a few miles into the drive, the truck rolled over several times and landed on the passenger side. Carrion became unconscious (昏迷的), leaving her children crying in the back seat.

When Carrion woke up, her daughter Averie wasn’t in the car. After a rescue team showed up, she directed them to search the snow bank — maybe Averie had been thrown out of the car. She could be unconscious, or worse.

In fact, the 32-pound child had crawled (爬) through the broken truck window and pushed her way through the snow bank, and then walked a quarter mile up the road to the nearest farmhouse in search of help for her mother and crying brother. “I think my mom’s dead, and my brother is still in the car, and we need you to help us,” she told Jason Zenk, the 13-year-old boy who found her.

While the family warmed the shivering (发抖) child up with blankets, Zenk’s father Patrick got into his truck to see what had happened. Just down the road, he came across a group of emergency vehicles, and a female driver crying. Police officers were casting about for Averie in the snowy fields. “I think we have what you’re looking for,” Zenk said.

A few minutes later, Averie and her mother were happily reunited. And Averie was recently rewarded with a trip to New York City to tell her story on national TV shows.
