A driver stuck on a remote mountain road in an area with no cell service was able to send a message calling for help by attaching his iPhone to a drone, authorities said. Casey Ryan, 37, had gone with a friend for what was planned as a short driving and hiking trip in the Willamette National Forest inin January when they came across a woman whose Mercedes had gotten stuck in snow on the road.
Without cell service, Ryan’s friend suggested attaching Ryan’s iPhone 13 to a drone to fly above the trees in the hope of picking up reception to send a message to his wife calling for help. “I was like, ‘That’s ingenious,’” Ryan told. Incredibly, the plan worked, and the three were rescued the following morning by volunteers with the Lane County Sheriff’s Office.
