A Minnesota woman who had been missing for three days was found alive after becoming trapped in mud and nearly submerged beside her vehicle, according to authorities and the two men who rescued her.

According to the men, Woessner was nearly completely submerged in mud. "All you could see was just the round part of her face, like her mouth, her lips," Sandbeck told KARE 11. "You couldn't even see her ears. It was all submerged."

The men pulled her from the mud and called 911. Emergency responders were able to locate them using coordinates provided through a GPS tracking feature on their off-road vehicle.

After the rescue, Woessner told Sandbeck she had fallen into the muddy pool beside her van and immediately became trapped.

"She said it was like quicksand, and she couldn't get out," he told the station.
