9-year-old girl calls 911 after family's SUV crashes

UNDATED - A 9-year-old's call for help possibly saved her mother's life. The Georgia woman was driving the little girl and her baby brother when she lost control of her SUV, flipping several times.

Somehow, the 9-year-old found her mother's cell phone, leading to her heroic act. Madison Harris' family’s SUV had just rolled off highway 19-41, her mother lying unconscious on the ground nearby.

In a call to 911, the 9-year-old says:

"Okay, I'm hurt. Someone help me. I need help.”

“She was able to get the window down, and crawled out and then she called 911," said Donna Thomas, Madisyn’s grandmother.

Before that, Thomas said the 9-year-old checked on her one-year-old brother, still strapped in his car seat.

"I truly think she helped save her momma's life," said Thomas.

You can still see the damage here at the accident site. That SUV rolled several times finally stopping at the edge of Lake Talmadge. In fact, when residents first arrived, they thought someone had been tossed into the water."

A driver called 911, saying:

"There is a bad car accident, the car is into the lake and I think the mother went into the lake."

Courtney Miner, 34, was actually on land, but critically injured. Her parents, who met outside of the hospital, listened to the 911 call.

"You could tell she was panicked. She was worried about her mom,” said Thomas.

The little girl's family says her mother will likely be in the hospital for several weeks, but will recover.
