Chocolate Saved Her Life

TMTV/BCTV KOOTENAYS for BCTV Newshour on Global- Feb 18

A woman in Nelson spent nearly two hours trapped in freezing water, after her SUV flipped into the Kootenay River on Valentine's Day.

And, believe it or not, a box of chocolates is being credited in helping save her life.

The woman was found by her boyfriend, who went looking for her when she didn't show up for work early Monday morning.

Crews say the woman was stuck between the two seats and was breathing in an air pocket.

A firefighter said a heart-shaped box of chocolates was floating in the vehicle and eating them helped keep her core temperature up.

The very lucky woman was taken to hospital with hypothermia and released.
