THE RIDDLE OF THE 'ANGEL PRIEST'

Holy man appeared from nowhere to pray with trapped girl and rescuers in traffic accident, told them she would be OK and then vanished

• Katie Lentz was hit head-on by a drunk driver on Sunday morning on an isolated stretch of Missouri highway
• Emergency workers battled for over an hour to rescue her but they couldn't free her from the car wreck
• Lentz requested a moment of prayer and a priest appeared - even though the road was blocked off
• He prayed and told the rescuers that Lentz would now be freed - and she was
• They turned to thank him - but he was gone

Pinned inside her mangled Mercedes, seriously injured and fading fast, Katie Lentz turned to her rescuers on the lonely open stretch of Missouri highway and asked them to pray.

Struck head-on by a drunk driver on Sunday morning, emergency workers had been battling for an hour and a half to free Lentz, but to no avail.

But as they joined hands a Catholic priest appeared, even though there were no bystanders and the road was blocked, who offered a prayer and an instruction to the rescuers that they would now be able to free her.

Suddenly, heavy equipment needed to cut through the metal arrived from a nearby town and Lentz was pulled from the wreck in time to be saved - but when they turned to thank the priest, he was gone.
