A major snowstorm covered the Northeast overnight, leaving everything white. Kevin Kresen of Candor, New York, spent 10 hours in a car covered with snow.
Kresen called 911 to report that he ran off the road and needed assistance. Jason Cawley, a Zone Sgt. of Troop C, was dispatched to the area to look for the car but couldn’t find it until he started digging.
“While digging, he hit the windshield of a car, and inside was the subject who had been making 911 calls,” police said.
Kresen spent all 1o of those hours without heat because his serpentine belt broke. He was taken to the hospital and treated for hypothermia and frostbite.
“The actions of Sergeant Cawley, no doubt, saved the driver’s life. Job well done,” the police department wrote on Facebook.
