Man pulled out of snowed-in car after being stuck 'for months' The man, aged in his 40s, was rescued after a passer-by on a snowscooter noticed the top of the car on the deserted and snowfilled forest road, not far from the northern town of Umeaa, just south of the Arctic Circle. After clearing off some of the snow he peered inside and saw an emaciated man huddling inside a sleeping bag. "We received word on Friday that a person had been found in a snow-covered car deep in the woods, nearly a mile from the main road," Ebbe Nyberg, a duty officer in the northern Vaesterbotten county, told AFP. "He says himself he has been without food since December, so we think he must have got there around then, or perhaps earlier, in November," Mr Nyberg said, pointing out that temperatures in the area have recently plunged as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius. It's just amazing he's alive! The man, who had not been reported missing and who has yet to say how he got stuck, appeared to have survived on nothing but snow since mid-December. After his rescue, he was taken to the Norrlands University Hospital.
