Woman rescued after surviving in a forest for six days on yogurt and snow

Sheena Gullett was stranded in a broken down car after it became stuck in the snow in California and her friend went for help

A woman stranded for six days in a broken-down car in a remote northern California forest survived by rationing yogurt and eating snow, authorities said.

The ordeal of Sheena Gullett, 52, was detailed in a Facebook post by the Lassen county sheriff's office. Gullett and friend Justin Lonich, 48, were driving to Little Valley, a small incorporated community, on dirt roads off Highway 44 on 14 April when their vehicle became stuck in snow. They spent the night in the vehicle and in the morning its battery was dead.
