A trail runner is recovering after crawling for more than eleven hours through Olympic National Forest in Washington state.
Joseph Oldendorf says he had been running for 12 miles on a snowy trail when he slipped and his tibia completely snapped off.
Desperate not to die, Oldendorf crawled seven hours through below-freezing temperatures to get cell service and then another four to Search and Rescue responders.
He was found and then taken to a hospital in Seattle, where he is getting treatment for his broken leg and knees that had been scraped raw.
