A wrong address in his phone got this trucker lost

Tweet

Oregon is nowhere near as big as Texas, but over on the eastern side of the state, cell phone coverage is spotty at best in some areas. So the trucker with a load of potato chips put a wrong delivery address in his phone and ended up making a wrong turn, getting the truck stuck on a steep embankment and having to walk back the way he came starting at midnight. He was on his way to a town near the Idaho border, but that bad address led him astray and he wandered night and day for four days, sometimes in snow with temperatures in the 30s at night. His employer said he walked some 36 miles, but State Police figure it was only about 14 miles. He caught a ride near his home and was dropped off while his wife was out searching. Now he is safely in the hospital for a few days, suffering from exposure, I suppose. With my lousy sense of direction, I would still be wandering. I wonder if the potato chips got frozen?
