Err drinking radiator water. Isn't that coolant?

Coolant's pretty grim stuff, no?

Glad they found her. Hope they pumped her stomach?

The report I saw said she used a hose from the radiator to syphon water from a stream. Not that she drank radiator water. Seems more likely. John

Yep I heard the same as Weegie, she used a radiator hose to suck water from a stream.

She wouldn't have lasted very long drinking anti-freeze as it's highly toxic and causes organ failure and even brain damage.

I recon they still use anti-freeze in California though as it prevents your cooling system from corroding and also has a much higher boiling point than water.
