Weber County, Utah — During the weekend, a family had to wait hours for help, after they became stuck while off-roading in rural Utah.

According to the Weber County Sheriff’s Office, search & rescue members and deputies responded to the Ant Flat area early Saturday morning to the family’s stranded Jeep near the Weber/Cache County line.

The family of four tried to make it across Ant Flat road late Friday night and became stuck in the snow.

At about 4:00 a.m. Saturday they were able to get a text message out to ask for help. Responders were able to get them out safely.

Especially during spring conditions, the sheriff’s office reminded people to check road conditions before going off-road.
