Episode 809 – Man Trapped Under Jeep!
Stranger saves Harlem man trapped under Jeep
“I was thinking, I know it’s going to roll, but I just grabbed onto the steering wheel,” said Larry Coulson, trapped in his Jeep for 11 hours.
That’s all Larry Coulson could do at that point. It was a dark Friday night. He was leaving a driveway off Harlem-Grovetown Road when the headlights went out on his Jeep.
“It was too dark. And I turned in there, and it started sliding. I thought slide if you want to, I’ll put it in 4 wheel and come out of this ditch. When it stopped sliding, it just rolled over,” said Coulson.
For 11 hours Larry lay there with the Jeep on top of him.
“I kept trying to get the windows down. I kept falling asleep,” said Coulson.
Amy James was running a few minutes late for work that day. She’s an ICU nurse at Eisenhower Medical Center.
“I hadn’t had my coffee yet, just trying to wake up. And I saw something that was on the other side of the road. Like I’m going this way, it’s on that side. And I looked and kind of kept going. And it took a bit to register. Was that a tire? Was that a tire up in the air?” said Amy James, who found Larry Coulson trapped.
Coulson said the worst injury was a sore back. As for his Jeep, he’s had it for 40 years and says going to fix it up and get it back on the road.
Exploring America’s National Parks Is A Lot Easier Thanks To Latest Google Maps Update
Park maps will soon be available to download, allowing you to adventure without fear of losing your cell signal.
If you’re the sort of person that spends their free time exploring the national parks of America, you’ll be delighted to know that Google has updated its Maps service to make adventuring a lot easier and more convenient.
Available from April, users can download offline maps for national parks nationwide. By pressing the ‘download’ button on the Google Maps listing, you can use the map later. This would come in handy as a failsafe, especially as strong cell coverage isn’t guaranteed when venturing out in nature.
Now, you can make your way around the park without internet access, ensuring you won’t have to sleep in your Wrangler if you get lost.
Nature lovers will also come to appreciate the improved directions. Once you’ve chosen the sights you want to see and trails you want to explore, Google claims that Maps will provide even more precise directions, along with highlighted park entrances on the map.
Trails are also easier to find, with Google Maps now capable of highlighting the route on the map. This lets you see the start and finish of the route, along with photos from other users. Google does not mention whether this is only for walking trails, but it would also come in handy for off-roading routes.
As a reminder, off-roading is not allowed in many national parks, but some cater to those who love overlanding. Even then, it is highly regulated, with rules to adhere to.
