A male driver whose name was not released to the public who was trapped inside of his auto in Box Canyon Oregon when he drove his auto on a remote road at the Williamette National Forest yesterday and encountered bad luck getting stuck in the snow since what likely happened is that snow fell in the area and trapped the driver. The driver who to use a drone with a cellphone attached to it sent a message for help. The drone with the cellphone attached was able to relay where his location was to the officers at Lane County Sheriff's Search and Rescue Center. The deputies with the Lane County Sheriff's Office were able to locate the male driver inside of his auto as well as another driver near the place where the drone was sent who was trapped inside of his or her auto for a few days trapped in the snow. Both drivers were rescued and are in good condition. The reason that the driver who was trapped inside his auto could not use his cell phone to ask for help is because the area where he was trapped could not relay his message due to the lack of towers in the area. The deputies with the Lane County Sheriff are asking drivers not to drive their autos in areas where there is a lot of snow because they will be trapped inside their autos for a long time.
