A woman who fell into a river survived thanks to her down-fill coat in Wuhan, capital of Hubei province, on Monday.

A local resident surnamed Huang, 27, accidentally fell into a river after she left home following a family quarrel in Shuikou village in the city's Xihu district at about 10 pm.

Huang's thick down-filled coat may have helped keep her afloat. Local police rescued her after she floated more than 1 km downstream.
