This is my niece Melissa, the child is 4yrs. old and was her niece Emma, who has some cuts on her fingers, but otherwise is just fine. Emma is afraid to drive on ice or snow which in time she will get over in time. But she went through alot seeing her Aunt out cold bleeding after slipping off the road and being alone in the cold with the car on it's side has to be alot for her to handle. Thank God she has Ashley as her Mom she will help Emma with whatever she needs. My heart goes out to this brave little girl.
