A 27-year-old man from Indiana received an unexpected Christmas miracle after being rescued from his wrecked car, where he had been stuck for six days. The Indiana State Police responded to a report of a crash at Interstate 94 and found the man's vehicle partially submerged in Salt Creek. Two local fishermen, Mario Garcia and Nivardo Delatorre, came across the scene while scouting for fishing spots and made the lifesaving discovery. The man, identified as Matthew Reum of Mishawaka, Indiana, had been involved in the crash but was unable to call for help due to his injuries.

He had survived by drinking rainwater and was found with potentially life-threatening injuries. Reum was extricated from the vehicle and airlifted to Memorial Hospital in South Bend for treatment. Sgt. Glen Fifield of the Indiana State Police described the man's survival as a "miracle," attributing his ability to endure his ordeal to above-normal temperatures during the Christmas season.

Mario Garcia, one of the fishermen who found Reum, recounted the shocking moment when they discovered him, saying that the man was alive and overjoyed to see them. The story of Reum's rescue serves as a testament to the power of human resilience and the impact of chance encounters. It is a reminder of the importance of remaining vigilant and willing to lend a helping hand to others in need.
