Police remind the community to travel safe in remote areas and plan ahead.
About 5pm yesterday Tuesday 4 November, police were called to an area about 40km from Amata to reports a vehicle had utilised an online mapping app causing the car to leave the main highway where the car became bogged.
Police were in attendance and assisted when a second car also reported being bogged where police assisted with the second rescue.
Fortunately, there were no reports of any injuries.
This is a timely reminder to the community when travelling in remote areas to plan a route before you travel and not to rely on apps, be aware of the conditions of where you are travelling and tell someone where you are going.
