The situation is, my character is trapped in a crashed car. She has suffered a broken arm in the crash. It's after 11pm at night and outside of a town (so no mobile phone signal). It's also the middle of winter, with snow on the ground and the air temperature about minus 6 Celsius, which the south of England did drop down to during some the hard winters in the last few years. It can be windy.
The question is, if she isn't rescued, how quickly would she be in danger of death from hypothermia?
And if she is rescued and taken to hospital, how long would she likely need to stay there before being able to go home?
Thanks in anticipation!
