Matt's Truck (The True Story)

[hozz1235]

Crowbar, gas can, body outside the truck underneath a bridge....what is your conclusion?

 

[Lord of the Long Dark]

Two guys were in truck but Moose spawned on bridge so they tried to drive around on frozen lake (not realizing other bridge was out of course) and truck broke through ice and gets stuck.  They run truck all night to stay warm but run out of gas. They head to Riken to search for supplies, where one guy succumbs to the cold and dies at the riken. The other guy finds gas and prybar which he brings for protection but truck engine is now submerged in water and won’t start. So he freezes to death.

Matt was going ahead to the broken bridge and beyond. (Maybe to Perseverance Mills) But suddenly bear spawned and Matt panicked, crashed and fell of the bridge. After some time he woke up, picked prybar for bear (poor Matt) and wanted to go to Riken. He wanted to bring some gas for warming. But he was bleeding so he fainted in a minute and faded to the long dark.

If he crashed and fell off the bridge why is the truck not damaged and why are the bridge rails intact? Also since bear does not spawn nor travels to bridge why did he panic?

When ı play in DP on voyageur level a moose and after that a bear spawned on the bridge so ı thought same thing happened to Matt. (Maybe it was a bug ı didn’t know)

and yes you are right about the crash. My imagination was a bit crazy ı guess ı thought car jumped, did not touch and just fell off. But ı guess the car glass was broken so there was a little harm😬

Definitely saw the moose and swerved, but in his panic/poor visibility went off the road.  Crowbar was to try and free the truck but he was so focussed on that he didn't see the blizzard coming.  Jerrycan was for his generator, perhaps; he filled it up and proceeded home.
