Illegal immigrant rescues boy whose mother died in Arizona crash

A 9-year-old boy looking for help after his mother crashed her van off a cliff in southern Arizona on Thanksgiving Day was rescued by an illegal immigrant who stayed with him overnight until help arrived Friday.

The 45-year-old woman had been driving on a U.S. Forest Service road in a remote part of Santa Cruz County just north of the Mexican border when her Chevrolet Astro failed to negotiate a curve at about 3 p.m. Thursday, vaulting into the canyon and landing 300 feet (90 meters) from the roadway, Sheriff Tony Estrada said.

The woman was still alive but pinned inside, Estrada said.”*
