The man, from Gardner, Mass., fell asleep as he was driving southbound on North Street around 7:30 p.m., according to police. His car went off the road, into a small embankment, and hit a tree.

The damage made it impossible for the man to get out of his car and he was unable to call 911 because he did not have a cell phone, police said. He "remained in the car overnight, trapped."
