A man from Sanford, Maine, was found after his pickup got stuck in a mud pit, trapping him inside for two days.

Robert Brown, 65, was reported missing by his wife on Friday after he drove her to work 15 miles away in Rochester, New Hampshire, the day before.

Authorities said they attempted to reach Brown's cellphone in Dover, but it had run out of battery.

Two hunters saw Brown's truck and called local authorities, who traced the tracks to the bottom of a muddy hill, Dover Fire Department Lt. Patrick Simmons told WMUR News 9. Brown was trapped inside, still wearing his seatbelt.

"This is generally not accessed by people from the public," Simmons said. "This is more like an area to like to dump dredging and sand and dirt and things used by the city workers and things like that. But I don't know how he got out here."

Brown was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
