Alberta Lea, Minn.-The Freeborn County sheriff says the case of a driver who drove his fertilizer truck into a swamp and then left the scene and was missing for a day or more is under investigation. “I know that this missing man was found early Friday evening (Nov. 20) and is no longer missing,” Sheriff Mark Harig told Green Markets. Harig declined to elaborate “because there is an active investigation into his disappearance. Thankfully he has been found after spending the night sleeping in a cornfield and had only minor injuries and is now safe.” The driver was identified as Seth Strusz, 34, Hartland, Minn. Officials at High Yield in Hartland declined to talk about the situation, but Green Markets did learn that the fertilizer aboard the truck had been recovered. The area was searched by more than 60 volunteers. A canine unit and helicopter equipped with infra red were used before the missing driver was located later in the evening.
