UPDATE: Manitoba mom and daughter survive night in frigid temperatures after crash

WINNIPEG — A mother and her four-year-old daughter are recovering in hospital after spending a frigid night stranded on the side of the road following a crash near Killarney, Manitoba.

On Sunday evening 26-year-old Kristen Hiebert was travelling with her daughter Avery, when her vehicle slid off a rural road and tumbled into a ditch.

The temperature dipped below -20 C that night so Hiebert crawled to her daughter and covered her to keep her warm as they waited for help.

Many cars drove by, but no one one pulled over to help them.

“It is now morning, the sun is up and mom and daughter have spent the night exposed to the elements, injured, dehydrated and traumatized,” wrote Hiebert’s friend on a GoFundMe page.

In the morning, Hiebert crawled towards the road and signalled for help.  She was suffering from extreme pain with broken arms, neck, ribs, and a leg. Her feet were black from being exposed to the cold temperatures, as she lost her shoes right after the crash.

Morgan Campbell is a close friend of Hiebert’s, the two went to high school together. Campbell talked with Hiebert Wednesday morning.

Campbell said Avery is doing well, but still in pain, as she has several bruises and frostbite on her feet. Hiebert has undergone surgery but still needs operations on her broken femur and arm. Campbell said she is also going need skin grafting after getting frostbite that night.

“I talked with her this morning, she sounds very weak but was still able to talk,” said Campbell. “I told her that I loved her and we were all thinking of her.”
