PHOENIX - A 9-year-old boy looking for help after his mother crashed their van in the southern Arizona desert was rescued by a man entering the U.S. illegally, who stayed with him until help arrived the next day, an official said.

The 45-year-old woman, who eventually died while awaiting help, had been driving on a U.S. Forest Service road in a remote area just north of the Mexican border when she lost control of her van on a curve on Thanksgiving, Santa Cruz County Sheriff Tony Estrada said.

The van vaulted into a canyon and landed 300 feet from the road, he said. The woman, from Rimrock, north of Phoenix, survived the impact but was pinned inside, Estrada said.

The father had died two months ago. Mom and son were on a camping trip. Several large parks down that way, including Organ Pipe.

3. When this kid grows up he's going to say that he was saved by
Jesus.
Then when they say halleluljah(?), he'll say:- Manuel Cordova.
The confusion will be short lived.
