An Australian woman who was involved in a single vehicle car crash on Christmas day was found alive three days later trapped in the wreckage by a teenager.

According to the police, a local youth Caleb Wilks was walking through the remote area to a nearby property, when he heard her cry for help on Wednesday night and called emergency services.

"He's called triple zero, he's indicated to the woman that help was coming, and he's stayed up on the road so that we could see him," the Daily Telegraph quoted sergeant Brian Hammond as saying.
