YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIDAHO FALLS — Joe Rightmire was sure he was going to die.
He was pinned underneath his pickup truck, couldn’t move at all, and his head was partially submerged in water with sharp sticks jabbing into his scalp.
For 48 hours, he waited for help to arrive while one person was determined to find him: his sister, Tasha Goforth.
Sitting next to the EMTs who came to the rescue, Rightmire and Goforth spoke publicly about the harrowing situation for the first time Friday during a news conference at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center. With bruises on his face, arms wrapped in bandages and mud still stuck in his hair, Rightmire says the thought of his dog, Cooper, kept him alive.
