Here’s a well known case in New York.

I had a similar issue in Maine a few years ago except it was summer and I just had to walk 30 minutes. It definitely happens.



Honestly that sounds like a better use case than some being described. It was clearly an emergency situation and someone could have presumably reached them relatively quickly. Maybe car breakdowns or getting stranded are the bigger deal.
