A Prince George's County, Maryland woman and her unborn child are lucky to be alive after a Saturday morning crash.

Sade Davis, 23, who was technically dead when paramedics found her, returned home from the hospital Wednesday.

Men and women from Fire Station 825 in Clinton were responding to another call when they reached the scene of the crash.

"En route to the call, we ended up having a bystander jump out in the middle of the road and say, 'Hey, I think a car just went over the embankment here,'" Lt. Dale Giampetroni, said.

A car had gone off Temple Hill Road and was upside down and partially submerged in a creek.

"We saw a vehicle overturned, tested the vehicle for stability, jumped into action, got into water," said firefighter David Wilson.

Inside, they found Davis, who wasn't breathing and didn't have a pulse. She had drowned.

But paramedics managed to bring her back to life -- saving her unborn child as well.

"It's definitely double miracles sitting right here," Davis told the men and women who revived her and attended her homecoming Wednesday.
