Kennedy Littledike was beyond confused by the scene below her and had one question for onlookers
A teenager who was left stuck on an electrical power line 30ft up in the air after a horrific car crash shared exactly what she was thinking at the time.
Kennedy Littledike was driving home with two friends in 2021 when she ended up crashing into a power pole – which actually saved her life – after losing control of the vehicle.
The Idaho teen was thrown out of the car and left dangling on a power line by her broken leg, and left for an hour before she could be rescued and rushed to the hospital.
The incident injured her so bad that she was placed into a medical coma and her leg had to be amputated, while she also suffered from partial paralysis in one of her arms – and her dad was told that she was unlikely to survive.

But when she woke up, she was left ‘confused’.
In a video the teen shared to YouTube two years ago, she explained what she was thinking when she was up in the air on the line.
She explained: “I remember thinking ‘why isn’t anyone getting me down’, they were holding a white carpet in case I fell, but I don’t know why or understand that’s why they were holding it. I don’t know how many people were there, it just felt like a lot of people were there.
“I was confused why they were all there just looking at me and not helping me. A lot of confusion, scared.”
At the time of the crash, Kennedy had just broken up with her boyfriend at the time and ‘was still kind of a wreck’, which was why her friends were with her, trying to cheer her up.
She said at the time: “I started crying and I lost control of the vehicle. I started going off the left side of the road and I overcorrected too far and went off the right side of the road.
“My car went down a little bit into the ditch and I then hit a power pole. My side of the vehicle hit the pole and it flipped us sideways. We started flipping and rolling. I was the first one out of my door because it was torn off.

“When I was ejected I was left hanging on a power line 30 ft up, upside down.
“I remember I started to cry but I knew I couldn’t cry because if I were to cry I was going to die. I pulled myself together.
“My memory then fades out again and comes back to a tonne of people underneath me.
“I was up there for an hour and I was hanging by my broken leg.”
Thankfully, she went on to recover from her injuries and is now in the happiest’ relationship’ with her boyfriend, who she met last year.
