An injured nine-year-old girl spent nearly nine hours clawing her way out of a deep abyss after her entire family was killed when their car plunged down into the valley in Saudi Arabia, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.
Fayza Al Qaysi had been unconscious for more than an hour before she woke up to find herself among the dead bodies of her parents, brother and uncle, who were strewn in the valley in the southern rugged town of Arda.
“When Fayza woke up, she looked around to see only her dead family…the injured girl then started inching her way up the cliffs and spent nearly nine hours until she reached the top,” the Arabic language daily Okaz said.
“She then waited until a car came her way…she stopped the car and told the driver about what happened…he phoned the police and civil defence, who arrived in the scene and plucked the dead bodies out of the abyss.”
