Warden Jones then requested the assistance of Warden Cody Jones, Warden Andy Hueser, and Information and Education Supervisor Jason Amory.

The vehicle was found empty but Wardens were able to find the driver by tracking footprints in the snow.

The man was in a severe hypothermic state when they found him.

He was transported to an area hospital for treatment with the assistance of multiple EMS departments and volunteer fire departments.
