DANBURY, N.C. — A man that went missing along the Dan River was found safe along Shepherd Mills Road early Sunday morning, according to officials.
Danbury fire officials went on the search for a missing person along the bank Saturday night.
Officials said the man went missing from a group of 16 people after going tubing. That's when they said the man was hollering for help and fell asleep in the woods overnight. When he got up the next morning, he heard cars traveling on the road and began walking towards them. That's when a bypasser found him on the way to work around 6:30 a.m.
Danbury Fire Rescue Chief Logan Whitaker said the search went on for several hours.
