A woman spent two days floating atop an air mattress above a freezing lake until freight train workers came to her rescue. 
The woman and her fiancé were separated while attempting to use the air mattress as a raft to reach a boat across Lake Texoma in Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said in a press release. 
On Thursday afternoon, while train conductor Cristhian Sosa and train engineer Justin Luster were on their route from Madill, Oklahoma, to Irving, Texas, they saw a woman screaming for help and clutching onto an air mattress, Sosa told KXII.
The woman told the workers she had been floating through the river for two days. Oklahoma Highway Patrol said the woman had floated about 2 miles on an air mattress before eventually finding land near the railroad tracks.
Just before Sosa and Luster found the woman who identified herself as Connie, her fiancée had landed near a home and reported Connie missing to the local police, KXII reported.

“Well naturally, we kind of thought maybe she was delirious we really didn’t know what really happened and it wasn’t until we got to the crossing where highway patrolman had come out to find out her story was accurate, she had been floating on that air mattress for a solid day or two,” Luster told KXII.
Lena Kent, general director of public affairs for BNSF Railway, told USA TODAY the woman appeared to be hypothermic. However, the crew moved her near the train’s second engine in an attempt to keep her warm. Kent called the incident an “incredible story.”
The highway patrol said there were no signs of foul play in the incident and an investigation is not being conducted.
