She was eventually picked up by a truck driver and taken to Newman Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, The West Australian reported.

'He made the hard decision of "do I stay or do I go",' Mid West Gascoyne District Inspector Dave Hooper said.
'It's a horrible situation. People have been in situ for at least eight hours before help came.'
Raelene Hall who lives in Neds Creek Station, an hour south of Kumarina said the crash happened on an extremely quiet and remote road.
'It's a very remote area, not many people live out here. It's a gravel road, I'm unsure what the speed limit is but I wouldn't be driving fast on it,' she said.
Police crews are continuing to investigate the cause of the crash.
