NAPLES — A Boundary County man suffered frostbite after he became stranded in his disabled vehicle.

The 35-year-old was on some state land near Round Mountain Road when South Boundary Fire Protection District and rescue crews tried to find him. However, the road was blocked by a car, SBFPD Chief Allen Merritt told the Herald. 

“We could not get around the car in our vehicles so that’s when Search and Rescue was activated to come out with snowmobiles and get back to where the man was located,” he said. “As far as I know the frostbite was minimal, thankfully.”
