Snow traps Swede in car for two months

A Swedish man is thought to have survived on nothing but snow for two months.

The man was rescued from a snowed-in car by a snow-scooter rider near Umeaa, north Sweden, - and when police arrived they were "amazed" the man had survived in temperatures as low as -30C.

Ebbe Nyberg, a duty officer in the northern Vaesterbotten county, said: "He saw movement and realised there was probably a person in there and called the police.

"They were amazed at what they found: A man in his mid-40s huddled inside in a sleeping bag in really bad shape, starving and barely able to move or speak."

Following the rescue, the man was rushed to hospital and his current condition is unknown.
