Two fishermen in Northwest Indiana made a remarkable discovery on Tuesday when they found a driver who had been trapped in his truck for nearly a week after it crashed off Interstate 94. Mario Garcia and his son-in-law Nivardo De La Torre called the Porter County Dispatch Center after initially believing the man to be dead, and the driver was taken to a nearby hospital and is expected to make a full recovery. Officials credited Garcia and De La Torre with saving the driver's life, as their chance discovery of the crash site likely prevented a much worse outcome.
