Словарный запас: Reportedly, stuck, snowed in, deserted, spotted, scrapped
A Swedish man has reportedly survived being trapped in his car eating only snow for 2 months. The man is understood to be in his mid 40′s; he became stuck when his car was snowed in on a deserted road in December. This police officer says when he was found he was in a very poor state. He says the man told them he’d been there for a long time, and survived on just a little snow.
Local media report he had a sleeping bag in the car and had driven off a main road deep into the forest a week before xmas, when he became trapped. A man on a snow scooter spotted the car Friday, scraped snow off the window and saw movement inside. The man is now in intensive care in a Swedish hospital.
