Five-year-old girl credited for helping siblings survive 55 hours in 30-degree heat in car wreckage with dead parents

Trapped inside the wreckage of a car after an accident that killed her parents, a five-year-old girl has been credited for an “absolute miracle” feat of survival.

Inside an upturned Land Rover, hidden from view beside a remote Western Australian road, the young girl managed to undo her one-year-old brother’s seatbelt, freeing him.
