Car stuck in Death Valley salt flat for three weeks after driver follows GPS off-road

Landscape at Death Valley National Park, USA

Two men are due to appear in court after driving off-road at Death Valley National Park and getting their car stuck in a mud flat, where it remained for three weeks.

In a press release, the National Park Service (NPS) explained that the incident happened on 4 July, when the pair got lost while trying to navigate using GPS. After taking a wrong turn, they spent three hours driving up and down a gravel road before giving up and deciding to try driving straight across the salt flat to avoid running out of fuel.
