After the auto struck a tree, the collision trapped him in the vehicle. He was discovered an hour or more later by a passerby on the rural road. Emergency workers worked on his extraction for about 40 minutes. The auto almost went into a creek, where temperatures were dropping below freezing. "We thank God for sparing him," said his sister.
