A driver travelling home to Alabama took a wrong turn along a Georgia highway, leading to the rescue of a sleeping family of 14 moments before their house was engulfed by flames. The driver, identified by the family as a motorist named Mr Casey, was traveling with his son south of Lyerly, Georgia, just before midnight on Saturday, 17 October. Guided off his route by a GPS navigation error onto Highway 114, he reached the crest of a hill and saw flames spreading across a residential property. Instead of continuing on his journey, Mr Casey drove towards the burning structure, ran inside, and alerted the household. All 14 residents, including two adults, 11 children, and one grandchild, escaped the blaze unharmed.
