“I WAS WARMING UP WITH A CANDLE”: Confession of a woman from Nis who spent 30 hours trapped in a car after landing off the road

WHEN I found myself in that impasse, it became clear to me that it would be a long night. I couldn’t call anyone because I didn’t have a signal.

The night began to fall, I was next to the cemetery, trapped in the car, but I was not afraid. I had food and water, I warmed myself with a candle. It is enough to warm the car. I tried to call the man who started the fire some 500 meters away, I called him with a whistle because I lost my voice, I signaled with the headlights, but he did not come.

This is how Snezana Miljkovic begins her confession, a woman who spent 30 hours trapped in her car after landing off the road in the area of ​​the village of Paljina, where she turned wrong with the intention of visiting the Topilo spa. She was saved thanks to the passages that alerted the emergency services, so the woman was pulled out of the car and then medically taken care of.
She says she left home around 10 and that there was an accident around 3pm because she got lost on the way to a nearby spa. She lost her GPS signal and network and remained completely helpless, and that is where her agony began.

– I just wanted to go to the Topilo spa, a mill where people bathe. I asked one child and he showed me the way, however, everything was unknown and suspicious to me. I got out of the car and saw the road leading between two hills. I realize they didn’t guide me well. I started in reverse. It was wet grass, the car was like a leaf on water in an instant. The vehicle was not under my control. I flew between two trees, there was no room to maneuver – Snezana points out.

– I whistled with a whistle, because I saw a man burning grass. I hoarse so I’m welcome. He did not react. I even gave him a siren signal, and a phone call. I understand that there will be a party, I will stay until the New Year – she joked. – I also had coffee, cocoa, brandy and beer, snacks in the car, so I didn’t stay hungry and thirsty. I maneuvered overnight and moved a little, but that didn’t help me. On Sunday, women going to the cemetery passed by: Luckily, they noticed me and I asked them to charge my phones. However, they did not return. I was already thinking of going on foot. However, at some point, the militia came and I was saved
