A GRATEFUL Exmouth woman wants to find a good Samaritan who went to her aid after a fall which resulted in her knee breaking in six places.
Janine Collard, of Valley Way, slipped on ice on a path near Tesco Express in Brixington at around 10pm on January 30.
The 53-year-old had visited the Farmhouse Inn, in Brixington Parade, that evening for a meal and left the pub momentarily to go buy a newspaper from a shop.
She took a short cut down a path and slipped on ice.
"A lady came across to me and asked if I was ok. I told her that I could not get up."
She added: "I do not know how long I was laying there. It could have been for some time."
