On our way home from dinner last night, Joe and I stopped to assist the driver of the car who had slid into a ditch. The car was actually on its side and did have the emergency flashers on.
Joe carefully approached the car and called out to whoever might be in it. There was no response and then Joe pulled his trusty little flashlight out of his pocket...he carries it everywhere...and the car was empty...except for some beer cans in the back seat.
Joe noticed footsteps going to the road and just as we were pulling away and ready to call the Sheriff, a police car pulled up with its lights flashing.
The disabled car must already have been reported.
One must always be careful on our country roads and a charged cell phone is a necessity, not a luxury!
