In a remarkable turn of events, a Boone County woman’s life was saved when a power crew showed up at her location by accident. Penny Lamar, a diabetic, had fallen in her driveway and was unable to move, with her husband away on a trip. The power crew from Midland Power Cooperative was responding to a reported power outage, but instead found Lamar, who had a broken femur, critically low blood sugar, and internal bleeding.
A Miraculous Rescue
The crew’s quick response and decision to call 911 likely saved Lamar’s life. She was rushed to the hospital, where she is now recovering from her injuries. Lamar expressed her gratitude to the power company employees who saved her life, saying, “So my heart of hearts, I feel that, you know, our Lord works in mysterious ways. And that was one of the mysterious ways is he sent a false message.”
Lamar’s experience is a testament to the importance of community and the role that faith can play in our lives. As she continues to recover, she is grateful for the unexpected turn of events that led to her rescue.
