Someone was trapped in our lift for a short while the other day, but nothing compared to the ordeal of a woman in Sitges, near Barcelona, who was trapped for eight days.
The woman lives alone in a three floor home in an isolated area on the outskirts of Sitge. Relatives became concerned after not hearing from the woman for more than five days and when police arrived at the building they heard her cries for help.
She had been stuck in the lift for eight days and was suffering from dehydration and needed hospital treatment. The police believe her impromptu captivity could have been caused by an electrical fault in the lift. No kidding!
