Yet another reason why English reading proficiency should be required before allowing anyone to drive in America.
This sort of thing kinda regularly happened on a high mountain road that is more directly from Grants Pass, OR to the coast. Early GPS would regularly take people there who would become stranded.
In one horrific incident, an Asian family found themselves stuck way up there. If I recall correctly, they all died.

Nowadays, there is a HUGE sign at the turnoff to that road to make sure people know not to try that in winter.

Only Dad died. Grok:
three members of the family survived the ordeal.
James Kim, the father, tragically died of hypothermia on or around December 4, 2006 (his body was discovered two days later), after leaving the stranded car to hike out for help, covering over 16 miles in harsh winter conditions.
His wife, Kati Kim, and their two young daughters—Penelope (then 4 years old) and Sabine (then 7 months old)—were rescued alive on December 4, 2006, after nine days stranded in the snow. They suffered from frostbite, near-starvation, and exposure but recovered. Kati sustained the children in part by breastfeeding them and rationing limited supplies while they waited in the car.
One would think a family named ‘Kim’ to be more tech savvy.

they passed three signs saying the road was closed to wheeled vehicles. Yah, somebody had bad intentions.
