Default Dead Bolt loose

I had the dead bolt tongue come loose from the linkage and through centrifugal force of closing the door or bouncing down the road come out and the key would not disengage it. I took the inside part of the lock off with the door still closed. I found the end of the dead bolt tongue and used an ice pick to get it to slide back into the lock assy. Then I was able to open the door. Put some duct tape over the tongue until you can get a new door lock assembly.
