Officials have identified the woman found trapped in an overturned Hummer in near Adelanto as Ridgecrest resident Barbara McPheron. 
 
 McPheron, 69, was rescued after an hourlong operation to extricate her from the vehicle after it apparently rolled down a hill on Torosa Road Saturday, according to the San Bernardino County Fire Department. She had been missing for five days from her home in Ridgecrest. 
 
 McPheron is currently being treated at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center and is in serious condition but expected to recover from her injuries. 
 
 It appears she had been trapped in the vehicle nearly a week. 
 
 McPheron was reported missing under suspicious circumstances on Oct. 23 around 12:50 p.m. after she used the OnStar in her Hummer H3 to call 911, according to a press release from the Ridgecrest Police Department. 
 
 The agency said it received a 911 call transferred from the Kern County Sheriff’s Department regarding McPheron stating “ditch on Highway 395, Stater Bros. and Kashmir Street.” 
 
 The areas indicated were searched but McPherson was not found, police said. 
 
 Sheriff’s deputies also conducted an air search on Highway 395 and the China Lake Police Department searched from Highway 178 to Trona. 
 
 She was rescued around 6 p.m. Saturday after the San Bernardino County Fire Department received a call about an overturned vehicle.

– A woman who'd been reported missing five days earlier was found alive Saturday, trapped inside a Hummer that had crashed in the Mojave Desert. San Bernadino County Fire reports on Facebook that search and rescue teams had to use off-road vehicles to reach the SUV, which had rolled down a slope in a desert area. They stabilized the Hummer to prevent it from rolling further and were able to free the woman, who was flown to a medical center with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The woman is being identified as 69-year-old Barbara McPheron, reports KTLA. The circumstances under which she disappeared remain unclear. ABC 7 reports that the Ridgecrest Police Department in Kern County, roughly 80 miles north, say that McPheron was reported missing on Oct. 23, when she used the OnStar feature on her red 2007 Hummer to reach 911. A search at the time failed to turn up McPheron. (A rescuer ended up suing a woman he helped pull from a burning Hummer.)
