Russian pensioner went for mushrooms and fell into a hole with barbed wire

An elderly resident of Dzerzhinsk, Nizhny Novgorod region, who went to the forest for mushrooms and spent two days in a pit with barbed wire, was rescued by volunteers. This was reported in the search and rescue center “Lynx”.

According to the volunteers, the 82-year-old woman got on the train in the early morning and left for the forest without warning anyone and leaving her cell phone at home. When she did not return by the evening, the daughter first called friends, and then contacted the police and volunteers.

In the evening, searchers combed through the favorite mushroom places of the pensioner, but without success. The next morning we received information about her discovery.

As the victim herself said, collecting mushrooms, she fell into a hole with barbed wire, got entangled in it and could not get out. During the fall, the woman hit her head, received a concussion, and injured her arm.

During the time she was trapped, her grandmother survived two nights. On the first night, people passed by her, who took a basket of mushrooms, but left the woman alone.

The next night, a young couple heard the groans. The girl stayed next to the pensioner while the man ran for help.

The rescued was hospitalized with severe hypothermia, dehydration and traumatic brain injury. Now the woman's condition has stabilized, she is recovering.
