Milford Man Survives Being Trapped Underneath Snowmobile For 20 Hours

ST. JOHN PLANTATION, Maine (AP) — Maine game wardens say a Massachusetts man survived being trapped under an overturned snowmobile for 20 hours.

Wardens said searchers on Wednesday morning found 64-year-old Paul Lessard of Milford, Mass., underneath his overturned snowmobile in a ditch with running water in St. John Plantation, near the Canadian border.

Wardens determined that Lessard had been trapped since the previous day. They say he was conscious but showing signs of hypothermia following a frigid night with snow squalls. A nursing supervisor at Northern Maine Medical Center couldn't provide a report on his condition.

Wardens began searching for Lessard on Tuesday after a friend reported that he was overdue. He'd left a rental camp Tuesday morning in Fort Kent.
