Garbage Truck Rescue

An unemployed Michigan man who said he fell asleep in a garbage truck while collecting bottles and cans, was able to contact police from a cell phone, leading to his rescue just before the truck was about to compact its load.

He said he didn't want to die after having loaded $50 on his Boost Mobile phone.
