Fresno, Dhu-AlQa'dah 15, 1436, Aug 30, 2015, SPA -- A woman who was stranded in the rugged Sierra Nevada for nine days while suffering from some broken bones survived by using a water filter to drink from a creek, authorities said. Miyuki Harwood, 62, was found Saturday morning in a remote area of the Sierra National Forest after she used a whistle to get the attention of a search and rescue team who were looking for her, AP quoted Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims as saying at a news conference. Harwood was airlifted to a hospital to treat an unspecified injury sustained on Aug. 20 when she got separated from a group of hikers near Horsehead Lake, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) northwest of Fresno. She was listed in stable condition, the sheriff said after meeting Harwood at her hospital bed. --SPA 20:23 LOCAL TIME 17:23 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
