Pike Story Has A Moral On Getting Help For Breakdowns

A Lima man endured 10 hours and 1460 miles of hitchhiking after a flat tire on the Ohio Turnpike. The moral, says Turnpike deputy director Russell Deetz, is to stay in the disabled car until help arrives. Maxwell waited three hours for aid before hitchhiking. a truck arrived 20 minutes later. The delay stemmed from a Fremont Turnpike service station employee busy with calls and not relaying Maxwell’s request promptly. Deetz noted Turnpike workers also did not follow up to confirm the call was answered. Normally service trucks reach disabled vehicles within 30 minutes.
