Hump-day goes awry: Camel sits on West Virginia woman

SHINNSTON, W.Va. (AP) � A 1,500-pound camel picked an unfortunate place to take a breather.
A woman called for help on her cell phone Wednesday after a camel sat on top of her while she was painting a fence.

Firefighters and the camel's owner helped move the animal off the woman, who was having trouble breathing, ambulance driver Brent Hicks said.

"There is no protocol on something like this," he said.

The names of the woman and the camel's owner were not released.
