Spanish woman survives 8 days trapped in lift

Police and firefighters have rescued a woman who spent eight days trapped in the elevator of her apartment building near Spain's northeastern city of Barcelona.

The 35-year-old was found conscious but disorientated. She was taken to a hospital after being found in the private lift in the town of Sitges, police said.

The police were alerted by relatives in Madrid who had reported the Spaniard missing and then heard her cries for help when they visited the building.

Police said it was not clear how the woman, who lived alone in the three-story house, managed to survive for that length of time.

The elevator had apparently stalled due to an electrical fault.
