(formerly) missing women stranded, survived -15 overnight in car after running out of gas
The two Midcoast women who went missing Tuesday had run out of gas and were stranded in their vehicle on a snow-packed road when they were found Sunday by Game Warden Brad Richard.
The search for Kimberly Pushard, 51, and Angela Bussell, 50, ended five nights after they left home when the two were found near Nicatous Lake in Hancock County Sunday afternoon.
The women are both safe and healthy, but one more night in the cold could have put their lives in jeopardy, said Lt. Dan Menard with the Warden Service Office.
“They only saw that one day in those extremely cold temperatures,” said Menard, who said Pushard’s 2012 Jeep Compass ran out of gas on Saturday. “Had they run out of gas the first day, it might have been a different story.”
