It’s 105°F. Your pickup’s steaming on I-15 near the Glen Avon exit. Your phone’s at 8%. Yeah, we’ve seen it too many times. Here’s exactly what to do next (from the team that’s pulled cars off this stretch since 2006).

Flash your hazards, then carefully move to the right shoulder. No shoulder? Creep to the next exiteven if it’s Rubidoux or Pedley. Exit ramps are safer for hook-ups and avoid Caltrans incident fees.

Call Help But Give The Right Details
