Woman seeks mystery saviours

Aimee Squire is on a mission to find the people who helped save her life after a car crash 11 years ago.

She was 15 years old and in the passenger seat of a car that crashed head-on with another vehicle in the West Auckland suburb of New Lynn in September 2006.

Squire described blacking out and being unable to breathe after the accident.

She woke to find a bald Caucasian man and a short-haired woman supporting her head: ‘‘Two people who wouldn’t know me from a bar of soap.’’

Squire, now 25 and the mother of a 2-yearold, has been seeking her rescuers using Facebook’s community pages.

She said being a mother had brought home how important the kindness of strangers could be.

‘‘It’s always in my mind that the same thing that happened to me could happen to [my son]. I’d really hope people like this pair would be around to comfort him. I feel like they need to experience the gratitude they deserve.’’

The crash, in Titirangi Rd, put Squire in hospital for three months and left her with a permanently paralysed foot.

She will live with physical reminders of the accident forever but hoped that meeting her rescuers would help her through the emotional damage it caused.

She would also welcome anyone who witnessed the crash getting in touch with her, because her memories of the crash itself are hazy.
