Myersville, MD -- A Martinsburg, West Virginia, man says he was finally able to free himself yesterday morning after spending four days trapped under a car that went over an embankment Wednesday in Frederick County.
Forty-three-year-old Brian Struntz says the crash happened on Interstate 70 near Myersville when he swerved to avoid a deer.
The car went over a 30-foot embankment.
Struntz says he was able to get out of the car after the crash, but says a falling tree limb hit the car and pinned his leg.
Struntz says he dug at the grass and dirt until he freed himself.
He called police yesterday from a cell phone at 6:50 a.m.
He came away with just minor injuries.
Police say both his wife and workplace reported him missing.
Troopers are still investigating the accident.
