A Texas student has told how she survived in the Grand Canyon for five days after her car ran out of gas and was rescued after spelling out 'help' with a collection of stones on the ground.
Amber VanHecke, 24, set off in her Ford Edge on March 10 near the Canyon's South Rim in Arizona. After following her GPS down a road which didn't exist, she ran out of gas and became stranded on March 12.
She spent five days surviving on emergency food and water while waiting for someone to rescue her.
Eventually on March 17, she abandoned the vehicle and walked 11 miles to find a phone signal to call local authorities for help.
VanHecke was eventually rescued by an air ambulance pilot as she walked back to her car where she had left notes for anyone that might come across it.
