Two Windham teenagers were trapped in a snowbank for more than six hours during Wednesday's blizzard after a plow truck smashed the snow cave they had built in a parking lot off Route 302.

Although rescuers took the boys to Maine Medical Center, the two were in surprisingly good shape late Wednesday, police said.

The two built a large snow cave, similar to those mountain climbers use to keep warm on expeditions, and were inside it when a plow truck cleared the church's parking lot around 2 p.m., Fulton said.

The driver did not see the teenagers, and plowed right into their cave, smashing them into a 10-foot-high snowbank, he said.
