What initially was called in to 911 late Tuesday night as a possible house fire turned out to be a blaze from a car accident in which a young woman narrowly escaped serious injury.

Twenty-year-old Crystal Broderick of Dove Creek sustained first- and second-degree burns and was transported from the scene near Cahone on Colorado Highway 666 by ambulance to Southwest Memorial Hospital, where she was listed in good condition Wednesday, according to a hospital spokesperson.

"She fell asleep, veered off a really steep embankment — about 22 feet straight down — and the car did an end-over-end roll," said Colorado State Trooper Don Sheppard.

The car immediately caught fire and Broderick was briefly trapped inside the burning vehicle. "The fire was getting pretty hot and she attempted to get the driver’s-side door open but couldn’t so she had to crawl through and get out of the passenger side,"Sheppard said.

Broderick managed to climb up the embankment, where a passerby discovered her.

Sheppard said the 911 call came in from a neighbor who heard the explosion. The car was entirely engulfed and not salvageable.
