Krista says her cell phone ended up in this tree well, and that when she went in after it, she got stuck as well. Krista and the phone, which she says is expensive, were both recovered.

WASHINGTON COUNTY, Ore. - A woman became stuck head first in a tree well Sunday night after she dropped her cell phone and went to retrieve it.

It happened on Barnes Road. The woman said the phone was expensive so she did not want to lose it.

She was stuck in the tree well for about 20 minutes before calling for help. Luckily she was able to toss up her cell phone to her friend, who called 911.

She said she was shaken up, suffered some scrapes and was a bit embarrassed - but was otherwise OK.
