An elderly woman missing for four days in the Rangitikei district told her family God led her back to her crashed car to shelter from the elements and wait for help.
As Tai Luxford recovers from a remarkable four day ordeal lost after crashing off a remote rural road inthe Rangitikei district her children have revealed the first account of her survival.
Daughter Cally Luxford said her 73-year-old mother told family from her hospital bed she could remember leaving her vehicle after it crashed into brush and climbing up a cliff to have a sleep.
She told family when she woke up she had trouble remembering where the car was.
"Then God came and showed her where to go," said Ms Luxford.
