Local authorities announced that an American woman who had been “stuck in the mud for several days” had been found alive in a nature park in the northeastern United States, a week after her disappearance.
She was “conscious and alert and was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital for observation,” police in Stoughton, Massachusetts, who were conducting the search, said Monday night.
Easton Police, who oversaw the rescue, said she had “severe but not life-threatening injuries”.

A week later, while searches remained unsuccessful, they were found by hikers who heard screams in a swampy part of Borderland State Park, near Boston.
The young woman was rescued by firefighters, who had to use quads to get to where she was stuck.
