In this episode of the Crux True Survival Stories, host Kaycee McIntosh interviews Matt Reum, a 28-year-old industrial construction worker whose seemingly routine drive turned into a six-day fight for survival. In December 2023, Matt's truck crashed on I-90 in Indiana, leaving him trapped, injured, and invisible to those passing by. With broken bones, no food, contaminated water, and cold temperatures, Matt endured both physical and mental battles, facing thoughts of self-harm in his darkest moments. Despite the torment, Matt demonstrates incredible resilience until his eventual rescue. This episode delves into the depths of human endurance and the mental strength required to survive against all odds.
