MONSON, Mass. - A Massachusetts man says he intends to buy a cell phone now, after being trapped for four days in his car after it went off the road and crashed.

Fifty-nine-year-old Raymond Vachon ate the Wheat Thin crackers he keeps in his car because he is a diabetic and drank the dew off leaves and his windshield.
