After being stranded for three days following a one car crash, a 54 year old Silver Point woman was discovered by the side of the road on highway 141 in the Wolf Creek community Sunday morning.
Sharon Law, who had plunged down a steep embankment into a creek bed in her 2017 Toyota Corolla sometime Thursday, went unnoticed until Sunday. The car could not be seen by passing motorists from the road.
In order to get help, Law pulled herself up to the top of the hill to the side of the road and was spotted by a passing motorist there early Sunday morning, She was taken by EMS to Cookeville Regional Medical Center for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
According to Trooper Brent Collier of the Tennessee Highway Patrol Law was traveling west when her car plunged off the embankment and struck a tree before coming to rest in a creek bed. Although her family had been searching for Law, they had not reported her missing, thinking they had to wait 72 hours to file a report.
The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department was also on the scene.
