(Belleville, IL)  —  A Belleville family is celebrating the holidays early after a loved one was found alive in the wreckage of a car accident.  Chris Belfield was found by IDOT workers last Friday after being stranded for three days in his SUV.  He had crashed on Highway 156 near Hecker and suffered multiple back fractures, two broken legs, bleeding on the brain and severe frostbite.  His injuries required that his right leg be amputated and he still faces the possibility of more surgery.  During the time Belfield was stranded, temperatures dropped as low as 15 degrees.
