A local teenager is trying to spread awareness about the benefits of phone tracking apps, which she says helped save her life following a car crash in Surry County last weekend.
She says she was on her way to see a friend at that time. There was heavy rain at the time. All these different things were running through my mind and I never really thought that it was the end because I knew, honestly, I knew that with the Bible laying beside my head, it meant that I was going to be okay. She says she knew it was a matter of time before her family members would use the app to find her. They communicated with and used the Find My Friends App to pinpoint Macy's location and lead rescue crews to her.
Smith was in the hospital for about five days. She has a fractured neck and nerve damage in her left arm. She has a long road to recovery ahead of her. Have the conversation about this particular incident.
That can really happen. Alexander says her family is now using the Life app because it has more features than the Find My Friends App. On Monday, a man using a phone tracking app in Surry County discovered his father had been killed in a crash.
Troopers say year-old Bruce Dillard died after a crash around 10 a. Dillard's son used a phone tracking app to look up his dad's phone and discovered his dad had gone off the road and slammed into a shed, investigators said.
