Girl In Wreck Survives 10 Days On Noodles Gatorade

'It's amazing she was able to live that long'

From CNN:

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- A 5-year-old girl is in stable condition Wednesday, a day after she was discovered by highway workers near the scene of a car crash that killed her mother about 10 days ago, according to police and hospital officials.

Ruby Bustamante survived by drinking Gatorade and eating dried noodles found in the car, according to family members.

Police believe Norma Bustamante, 26, drove off a highway near Banning, California, about 70 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, plunging 400 feet over the guardrail to her death, according to Capt. Bob Clark, commander of the California Highway Patrol's station in Banning.

One of the reports I heard on the news today says they think her mother actually layed out some meals for her before she died. I don't know if that is true or not, but I heard the suggestion of it on the news. If so, here is another case of one incredible mother, in my opinion.
