A homeless woman was finally rescued from her van Thursday morning in Newark, N.J., after being trapped inside by snowplows for five days, she told News 12 Jersey.
“When I woke up around 11 o’clock or 12 o’clock at night, I saw I was plowed in and snow everywhere,” the woman told the outlet. “I was blowing the horn to tell them I was in here. But they didn’t get the message, so I’ve been in here ever since.”
