Van in the River: A Miracle Rescue/A Mother's Immoveable Love | Ep. 46

The Logan Canyon Scenic Byway is both breathtaking and treacherous. In May 2020, Raechel Mitchell set out with her children for a day trip to Bear Lake. Things took a dark turn when a simple bottle of vitamin water slipped beneath her van’s pedals, and in seconds, her vehicle veered off the road and plunged into the icy Logan River. As water rushed in, Raechel awoke to the screams of her children as the van was swept downstream—before miraculously lodging against something unseen. Trapped inside as frigid rapids roared around them, Raechel fought to keep her children calm while rescuers on shore scrambled for a plan. With no cell service, strangers with radios, ropes, and kayaks stepped forward to help. For more than five hours, the family sat in freezing water as firefighters and volunteers risked their lives to reach them. One by one, Raechel’s children were pulled to safety; and then she was finally rescued—blue-lipped, bloodied, and exhausted, but alive. What should have been tragedy became a story of courage, community, and what many witnesses could only call a miracle. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're a fan of true crime but crave a dose of inspiration instead of tales of darkness, The Miracle Files is your perfect alternative.
