A woman who was found pinned in the wreckage of her crashed car a staggering five days after she was first reported missing has been pictured for the first time since the ordeal, smiling from her hospital bed.
Robin Joyce Fancher, 49, is said to be 'doing great' and is in good spirits following her remarkable tale of survival.
She went missing on the morning of April 17 after she left her home in the Greentree Apartments in Headland, Alabama, to drive to the post office.
For the next five days her whereabouts remained a complete mystery, until a passer-by in Dothan noticed the back-end of a silver car poking out from a brush-covered ditch on Monday afternoon and dialed 911.
Inside, authorities found Robin pinned between the driver’s door and the steering column, where she had been stuck for nearly 120 hours without food or water.
Against all the odds, the mother-of-two was discovered both alive and conscious.

Just two-days after the dramatic rescue, Robin posed for photos with her son Travis Mattox, smiling from her bed in the South East Alabama Hospital.
'My mother is doing great,' Travis said. 'Thank the lord she's able to talk again.'
He called his Robin's survival an act of 'divine intervention'.

'I'm very thankful,' he added.
On Monday, First responders from five different different agencies worked tirelessly to free Robin in a rescue operation that took nearly 90 minutes.
Speaking to DailyMail.com, Robin's daughter, Magen Heeder, revealed that her mother suffered a number of serious injuries, including a broken femur and damaged kidneys.
She underwent hip surgery shortly after being freed and is now said to be recovering well.
'I broke down crying for an hour when they told me they'd found her. I'd given up hope by day three,' Magen said.
'I was pretty sure that even if we did find her, there was no chance she would be alive.'
According to her daughter, Robin suffers from a number of medical conditions, including liver complications which she has to take medication for every day.
'It's a miracle. She has to take pills three times a day to save her life,' Magen said.
'How she survived without them for so long, we'll never know.'
