MORGAN COUNTY, Ind. (WTHR) – At 10:15 Sunday night, Autumn Wray was sitting on her mother's porch when she heard a car speeding down Baseline Road, a narrow two-lane road with several sharp curves.
Wray yelled "Slow down!" but seconds later she saw the driver miss the curve.
"They went airborne. I don't know how high the car went in the air and down they came, down into Cave Holler."
The car landed at the bottom of a steep, wooded ravine at least 100 feet deep.
Wray called 911 grabbed her mom, Robin Stevens, and rushed to the scene. It was pitch black.
Standing at the top of the cliff, Wray yelled down to see if anyone was alive.
"And a little boy yelled back and said, 'help me,' and I told him (help) was on the way," Wray said.
But first, rescuers would have to carefully navigate their way down the steep incline.

When they arrived, they found the boy's father, 28-year-old Brett Bundy and two women, lifeless and the boys trapped alongside them in the mangled wreckage.
The two women were later identified as 27-year-old Jami Kinsler and 25-year-old Cassedy Brown.
The brothers were injured but alive. They were airlifted to Riley Hospital in serious but stable condition.
Dozens of first responders from several nearby departments spent hours trying to retrieve the bodies of the three people killed and remove the wreckage from the bottom of the ravine.
Joann Stirwalt, a volunteer firefighter said they also worked hard "to make sure rescuers were safe," using ropes and a big wrecker to access the crash site.
Stirwalt said it was very tough for everyone involved, given the horrific nature of the crash but she also said of the boys, "God's real. After last night, you can't convince me otherwise. He led us right where we needed to be."
Stevens echoed that saying, "I can't believe the kids made it, can't believe it. It was God, it was God. If my daughter hadn't been sitting on the porch no one would have ever known they were down there. And I'm thinking the kids would be dead by morning."
Relatives of Brett Bundy arrived the crash scene mid-afternoon. They met Autumn and a few of the first responders, filled with grief but also grateful for the efforts that led to the rescue of Bundy's two young sons.
Bundy's brother said the boys were expected to be okay, that their mother was with them at the hospital.
Stevens said while there had been crashes at the curve before, "We've never seen anything like this before, never...I told police last night, where is the sign? Where is the sign that says "curve, slow down?"
Others who stopped by the crash scene made similar comments.
"There needs to be a guard rail, sign or something here," said AJ Harris. "There's no light, no signs."
For now though, Stevens and her daughter are just glad they heard "that little voice."
Still choked up Wray said, "it's a blessing, it's God."
