Members of local law enforcement were alerted, and a search was conducted.
The 72-year-old man was found in the snow at 9:06 p.m. Sunday in the 500 block of Severn Road by an Ellis Sheriff's deputy.
The man, who was suffering from hypothermia, was transported to HaysMed for treatment.
Ellis County Sheriff Scott Braun said the man may have hit his head and was unable to return to his vehicle.
