A 90-year-old man was stuck in a ditch in Zeeland for 4 days. He is in good health, but just to be sure, he was taken to a hospital in Terneuzen for a checkup, according to the police.The man was driving a disabled vehicle, and ended up in a ditch, along a dead-end road. A neighbor had noticed the red vehicle 4 days earlier, but thought it was a tractor, so she didn't follow up on it.
