Auto Car News Report: Swedish man found alive after snow buries him in car for two months

In a chilling story, of which details are still emerging, a 45-year-old Swedish man has been found live after being stranded in his snow-covered car near the Arctic Circle for a reported two months. He survived without food, but was obviously capable to melt snow for water.

According to authorities, men on snowmobiles were traveling through the forest in Sweden’s northern town of Umeå when they came across a vehicle interred in the snow. Being nearly a mile from the main road, they cleared the windows to peer inside and were shocked to see a man huddled in a sleeping bag on the back seat. Rescue services soon arrived, in tracked vehicles, to take the seriously emaciated man to the hospital.

Since the rescued man is barely capable to speak, the medical staff has estimated that he was trapped in the vehicle for around two months – around as long as a human can survive without food. Despite temperatures plunging a low as -22 degrees Fahrenheit, the vehicle and its thick layer of snow obviously helped to protect him from the extreme weather. The man is currently recovering in an intensive concern unit at Umeå University Hospital.
