Cumbria Police received a call for help from a couple in a car, stranded in snow. Initial location information was vague, but seemed to be in Deepdale, in the Parish of Dent. When called, the CRO duty controller asked a local member to investigate as PhoneFind messages were going unanswered. With another member collecting a Land Rover and others on stand-by, a message was received that the car was actually on ‘the Coal Road’, which joins Dent and Garsdale stations. When the local member reached the end of the road, he was told that another motorist had helped the stranded pair out by putting carpet under their driving wheels. The team stood down.
