Resident rescues stranded international student from frigid peril
PRINCE GEORGE – Many in a northern climate understand the dangers of exposure to extreme cold weather. If it wasn’t for the acute insight of a resident, a young international student could have faced dire consequences.
Extreme cold puts everyone at risk. Frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with wind chill. Prince George resident Beverly Best was driving home this week and noticed something unusual when she noticed a young lady walking on the side of the road in unseasonal clothing.
“She informed me that she had just moved here to Prince George in December from India, and she didn’t have very good English, but she knew enough that she was scared. She was really scared. She was so cold, her hands were starting to hurt.”
