Clery was in the process of getting ready for bed when the massive fridge “slammed into me and pinned me against the counter.”
“I couldn’t move. Couldn’t breathe right,” she wrote on social media. “Was impossible to get off and I could feel myself losing consciousness. My kids were in the house. I genuinely didn’t know if I was getting out of that alive.”
“Thank God my phone was in my pocket and I was able to call 911. Thank God it didn’t fall on my kids. It took three firefighters to lift it off me. I’m still shaking.”
“I couldn’t move. Couldn’t breathe right.”
Clery shared clips from the rescue where firefighters carried her out of the house and into an ambulance.
From the back of the ambulance, Clery praised the first responders while wearing a neck brace and noted that she was “crushed” by a massive fridge.
