NORTH BERGEN, NJ -- Three women in New Jersey are accused of abandoning a former friend in the woods in 8-degree weather even though she was wearing just a dress and one shoe.

North Bergen police say the victim suffered serious frostbite on both feet and may need surgery.

Twenty-two-year-old Maria Contreras-Luciano, 20-year-old Amber Crespo and 21-year-old Dyanne Velasquez face kidnapping, assault and conspiracy charges.

Police say the three were angry that the 19-year-old woman sued a company owned by one of the women.

During the woman's ordeal in a wooded area near the Hudson River, a motorist let her use a cell phone, but refused to give her a ride.

Another motorist took her to a hospital and she reported the incident four days later.
