While driving along the Lochsa River with her husband, Daniel Childers, Michelle Childers was impaled by a tree limb. They were taking a recreational drive when a spruce tree crashed into the passenger side window of the vehicle.

Childers says she then felt a "strange" pressure on her neck and shoulder. Her husband told her that the tree limb had impaled her

The couple then drove to the Lochsa Lodge near the Idaho-Montana border, then was flown to the St. Patrick Hospital in Missoula, Montana.

It took a six-hour procedure to take the 13-inch tree limb out of Michelle's neck.
