Wymondham Norfolk, mother and daughter found in a car accident through the use of Snapchat by a boy

Gemma Fairweather, 38 (pictured), and her daughter Martha, 7, were returning home from Lowestoft to Wymondham, Norfolk County, late Sunday night when their car crashed.

A mother and her daughter were stuck after the fall of their car when a teenager found them on Snapchat.

Gemma Fairweather, 38, and her daughter Martha, seven, were returning home from Lowestoft to Wymondham, Norfolk County late Sunday night.

As they walked down a dark country lane, they veered off the road in a sharp, blind corner and hurtled down an embankment.

With the car on the side, they were stuck inside the vehicle and despite the call of his boyfriend Graham Potts and emergency services to get help – no one could find them in the dark.

It's only when their 15-year-old son Sam, of Mr. Potts, consulted them on Snapchat, that they were saved.

Sam used the Snap Map tool of the application, which allowed to accurately locate the pair so that the police and the ambulance could get them out of the ditch.

Ms. Fairweather stated that she would not leave the vehicle as her daughter was stuck inside.

She said, "They could not find us, it's the son of my boyfriend who found us on Snapchat.

"We were in the ditch in the dark and everyone pbaded us because of the darkness.

"It was scary but if we had moved, it could have been a lot worse."

When the mother and daughter took a dark alley, a blind bend allowed them to leave the road and hurtle down an embankment (scene of the accident in the photo).

The police and the ambulance were unable to find them in the dark and the two men were trapped (car photographed after their escape)

It is only when Sam, the son of his boyfriend, Graham, aged 15, researched on Snapchat that the car (photographed after the accident) could be located and saved.

She and Martha drove from Lowestoft, where Mr. Potts lives, to their home in Wymondham.

The car left an alley and went down the slope near the village of Blundeston just before 10 pm.

Gemma said: "I know it sounds weird, but I like to take the road back home so I can drive slowly to save fuel.

"A car was coming towards us, so I turned off my headlights and, in this turn, nothing indicates that there is a corner."

"There is also no security barrier and we went there. The night has been slippery.

"My daughter was in the car, the window was broken and her door was stuck. We did not move.

After 20 minutes, thanks to Snapchat, the first ambulances arrived to help Gemma and Martha, who both happily escaped with shock, cuts and bruises.

"The emergency services were exceptional – the police, ambulances and firefighters all came very quickly once they knew where we were."

She then wrote on Facebook about her ordeal, writing, "Are you going to buy a lottery ticket today. Note to yourself, never take the secondary roads.

& # 39; Everything is fine, just a little mental and bumps. Watch the people on the road, they are pretty slippery … Thanks to the Suffolk fire and firefighters, the ambbadadors and the police, who were great.

"Thanks to Graham Potts and Sam Potts, I really do not know what I would do with you two, I love you badbad"
