INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (WDAF) — The faint scars on Rachael Howen's face tell her story of survival. The 42-year-old was in a freak accident on June 13 while she was helping out at a horse stable in Jackson County, Missouri. Howen said she was feeding some of the horses, something she knew how to do after growing up on a working farm, when the unexpected happened. "[Three hay bales] crushed me and pinned me to a golf cart," she recalled from her home in Independence. 10 best and worst cities for singles, study finds Howen screamed for help but it was muffled due to her being smothered to death. However, within about a minute, she was, "by some miracle, able to pick it up and fall out." An adrenaline rush helped Howen push the 1,500-pound hay ball off of her body but doing so used up every bit of strength she had, and she collapsed on the ground, which is when she made another startling discovery."It ripped my nose off and broke out my maxilla and 12 teeth.

And in an unusual twist, the mistake was made by a member of the winning team.With the Gophers up 1-0, back-to-back minor penalties on the Badgers gave the Gophers a two-man advantage for 52 seconds.

When her replacement, Lacey Eden, jumped on the ice, she soon found herself alone with the puck at center ice.Eden scored on a breakaway for the shorthanded goal, and the tenor of the g...
