Jimmy hit the brakes the moment he spotted the deer in the headlights. He spun the steering wheel, and the nose of the car dipped as it went off the shoulder. When Jimmy lands in the wooded ravine below, he is slightly injured—and he is trapped inside his mangled car. For two weeks he keeps himself alive. He figures out how to haul in water from a nearby stream, how to pick berries, and how to signal for help. But help does not come. In the end, Jimmy knows he can depend on nobody but himself. Can he escape? "Trapped!", an incredible story of survival, is based on a true incident.
