GREENDALE, Wis.—

It was a normal Sunday for Betty Borowski and all she wanted to do was go to the market for a few groceries. But the 91-year-old had no idea she was in for an exciting couple of days. When Betty could not find her keys she crawled under her car headfirst looking for them. Unfortunately, Betty became pinned under the axle of the car, where she remained for two days.

On Tuesday her mail carrier noticed that her mail had not been picked up from Monday’s delivery, which was very uncharacteristic of Betty, so he rang her doorbell and asked a neighbor whether he had seen her. When she could not be found they called the police. Betty was eventually found and firefighters used a jack to lift the car off of her. She had appeared to have suffered a mild heart attack, but was otherwise recovering.

Not to rub salt in the wound, but Betty, the keys were in the door of the car:(

The moral of the story: When the keys are in the door, don’t crawl under the car looking for them.
