VIDEO/PHOTOS: We've been talking about the story all week – how a man survived six days pinned inside his truck underneath Interstate 94 in Northwest Indiana.
On Thursday, first responders filled us in on the chaos and conditions they encountered while trying to free Matt Reum from his vehicle.
CBS 2's Lauren Victory climbed into the spot in Salt Creek near Portage, Indiana, where Reum was trapped in his truck. It is along the rushing creek, down a ravine, and past several trees – all tricky terrain. Thus, first responders were preparing for the worst when they got the call of the driver who had fallen from the I-94 bridge.
Photos supplied by the Portage Fire Department show the conditions first responders were under on Tuesday afternoon as they went to the scene – loose rocks, a steep slope, and darkness quickly approaching.
