Swedish police say they found a man barely alive after surviving in this car for two months on a deserted snow-covered road.

Authorities say the man, in his forties, told them he had been living on snow and had eaten nothing since December 19th.

The man, said by local media to come from southern Sweden, had driven off the main road and gone two kilometres into deep forest in the north the week before Christmas.

He had a sleeping bag with him in the car.

He is now in intensive care, according to local media reports.

The reports said his car was spotted near the town of Umeaa by a man on a snow scooter who was passing by and saw movement inside when he scraped snow off a window.
