Alex Cabrero Reporting It has been quite a week for a Taylorsville woman; she fell off her porch suffering serious injuries. It was her four-year old daughter who called 9-1-1 for help. She's back home doing better now.
Erica Holden thought her daughter might have to call 9-1-1 some day, but she never thought it would be for her. Last week, Holden fell off a ledge in front of her home while taking down Christmas lights. Thankfully, she had taught 4-year old Jessica how to dial 9-1-1 for help.
Jessica came through like a champ, giving her address and describing what happened to her mom. Erica suffered a slight concussion and bumps and bruises. Now, after several days at the hospital, she's okay, thanks to her daughter.
Erica Holden, Daughter Called 911: "Words can't even express how proud I am of her. There's no words."
Erica says teaching her three children how to call for help is very important to her. She just never thought her teaching would benefit her.
