I was driving home in a blizzard and saw a van go off the road and flip over into the woods. I stopped, called 911, told them the highway, direction and mile marker. They asked me how the occupants were, but I was still walking to them as I was making the call. They were fine, but shooken up. Waited about ten minutes for emergency people to show up and left pretty quickly after.














It probably does work where you are. Many places will auto redirect 911 or their neighbors emergency numbers to the local one for the benefit of travelers.
