A woman is clinging to life in a local hospital after a passing motorist spotted a comatose body on the northbound side of Highway 101 this morning.

Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the call at 6:30 a.m., and found an unnamed woman alive, but cold and unresponsive. When she was hospitalized, the 48-year-old transient showed significant bruising which may have been several days old, according to the HCSO release.

Deputies and California Highway Patrol officers are working to determine how the woman sustained her injuries, and anyone with information is asked to call (707) 445-7251.
