A 68-year-old woman was found and rescued after being trapped in a mud deposit for three days in a remote area of Minnesota.

一名68歲女子在明尼蘇達州的一個偏遠地區陷於泥沼三日後，被發現並獲救。

The woman, identified as Kathryn Jane Woessner from Alexandria, Minnesota, was reported missing on June 3. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office described her as an endangered missing person because she lacked personal belongings and had existing medical conditions. The incident took place near Backus and Hackensack, about 80 miles from her home.

該名女子為來自明尼蘇達州亞歷山德里亞（Alexandria）的 Kathryn Jane Woessner，於6月3日被報失。道格拉斯郡（Douglas County）警長辦公室將其列為危險失蹤人口，因為她缺乏個人物品且患有既存疾病。事件發生在 Backus 與 Hackensack 附近，距離其家中約80英里。

On June 6, two men, Adam Sandbeck and Mike Gravalin, found a van stuck in the mud during an all-terrain vehicle trip. After looking closer, they saw a person almost completely covered by a puddle, with only the area around the mouth above the surface. The rescuers pulled her out and immediately contacted emergency services. Consequently, the woman was taken to a hospital for medical treatment.

6月6日，兩名男子 Adam Sandbeck 與 Mike Gravalin 在進行全地形車行程時，發現一輛面包車陷入泥中。在靠近觀察後，他們看到一個人幾乎完全被泥潭覆蓋，僅有口周圍的區域在表面之上。救援者將她拉出並立即聯繫緊急服務部門。隨後，該女子被送往醫院接受治療。

Regarding how she became trapped, Ms. Woessner explained that her vehicle got stuck. While she was trying to walk around the car, she fell into a mud puddle about two feet deep. She emphasized that the mud felt like quicksand, which made it impossible for her to get out on her own. Furthermore, Mr. Gravalin noted that recent heavy rain and flooding in the woods had caused these dangerous conditions.

關於如何陷入泥中，Woessner 女士解釋說她的車子陷住了。當她試圖繞過車子行走時，跌進了一個約兩英尺深的泥潭。她強調泥土感覺像流沙，導致她無法自行脫身。此外，Gravalin 先生指出，近期森林中的強降雨和洪水導致了這些危險狀況。

The woman is expected to make a full recovery thanks to the quick actions of the two civilians.

感謝兩名平民的迅速行動，該女子預計將完全康復。
