Police in Indiana are lauding the actions of two quick-thinking Good Samaritans after they spotted a crashed vehicle under a bridge on Interstate 94 in Porter...

Crews rescued the South Bend man who is in his 20s from the mangled truck, and he was airlifted to South Bend's Memorial Hospital,

Something shiny near a creek and a case of curiosity led two Indiana fishermen Tuesday to a 27-year-old man who had been fighting for his life for days alone in a mangled truck – a discovery that state police are hailing as a miracle.

Two fishermen discovered a wreck in northern Indiana, leading to the rescue of a driver who had been stuck there for nearly a week.

An Indiana man, who was trapped for six days after crashing his truck under a bridge, was miraculously found alive on Tuesday by two fishermen looking for fishing holes.

"I went to touch the shoulder and the moment I touched the shoulder, he swung around, he woke up. He was alive."

"I went to touch the shoulder and the moment I touched the shoulder, he swung around, he woke up. He was alive."

Mario Garcia and his son-in-law Nivardo Delatorre were scouting Salt Creek near the northwestern Indiana city of Portage for potential fishing holes and getting ready to call it a day when something shiny in the distance caught their attention, Garcia said at a news conference held by state police. Curious, they went to explore it and realized it was a vehicle wreck.

Two fishermen came upon the truck. "They touched the body, and the person turned their head and started talking to them," state police spokesman said.
