2/6/19 – Stuck/Abandoned Vehicle

SAR Staff and the SVU staged at the Washoe Lake State Park to locate a vehicle that some hikers had come upon earlier in the day. They said it appeared to be stuck and that no one was in the area. SVU personnel were able to locate the vehicle, and through some investigation on the part of SAR Staff and the IMT, it was discovered that the owner of the vehicle had loaned the car to his son months ago. The son was contacted and it was learned that he had become stuck before the snow earlier this week, and left the vehicle where it was found.
