Quebec woman gone missing found alive one week later in Saskatchewan

Quebec provincial police say a young woman who went missing last week has been found alive in Saskatchewan.

Police said today passersby contacted authorities after recognizing Karine Major on the street.

Spokesman Claude Doiron says RCMP officers were able to formally identify the 26-year-old and she was brought to a hospital for an evaluation.

He adds it was during her hospital visit that she apparently contacted a family member to tell them she was doing well.
