Trucker hauling chips gets lost in woods, doesn't eat any of them
- 6 years ago
OREGON — Truck driver Jacob Cartwright is lucky to be alive after getting lost for four days in the woods delivering a truckload of potato chips.
According to KATU, Cartwright was driving from Portland to Nyssa, Oregon to make a 7:30 a.m. Wednesday delivery, but his GPS sent him down the wrong road.
According to Oregon State Police, Cartwright entered the incorrect address, but since he had never been there before, he didn't know if he was going the wrong way.
In the middle of the night, the trucker finally decided to turn around, but his truck began losing traction and got stuck on a snowy muddy road.
Cartwright then started hoofing it and walked 12-13 hours a day for the next three days.
He finally found his way to Interstate 84, where he flagged a driver down who gave
Cartwright a lift back to his house in La Grande, Oregon.
The 22-year-old was taken to the hospital for dehydration and possible frostbite on his right foot.
The craziest part of the story though is Cartwright didn't eat one single chip he was hauling. Good thing, because that stuff will really kill you.
