Robert Brown, 65, of Sanford, Maine, was found stuck in the woods of New Hampshire two days after his vehicle went off an embankment.
Brown, who was found Saturday afternoon, had been driving in nearby Dover, New Hampshire, when his vehicle went off an embankment into a wooded area and became stuck in mud behind a sand pit, trapping him inside, police said.
"This is generally not accessed by people from the public," Dover Fire Department Lt. Patrick Simmons told WMUR-TV. He said the area is normally used by city workers and others for dumping sand and dirt. "I don’t know how he got out here."

Two hunters spotted the truck while they were walking in the woods Saturday afternoon. When rescue crews arrived, they could see tracks going down a hill, leading to the truck, Simmons said.
Rescuers removed Brown and took him to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
