There is an incredible story of survival out of North Carolina today about a young girl who lived off Pop Tarts and Gatorade for two days while she was pinned underneath her wrecked car. The nine-year-old girl Jordan Landon and her father Doug Landon crashed in a ditch after going to a local gas station Friday night.
Doug Landon was killed in the car accident and young Jordan was left pinned under the flipped car, unable to dig herself out. For two days she survived off what she had gotten at the gas station - Pop Tarts and Gatorade.
Help finally arrived after a passerby saw the wrecked car and called for paramedics. Rescue teams were able to get the young girl out of the car and she is expected to make a full recovery. Investigators said they believe speed may have been a factor in what caused the car accident, but nothing has been confirmed.
