A family from Illinois was stranded in Missouri on January 1, 2026, after their 2018 Hyundai Sonata broke down and began smoking around 3 a.m. during a holiday trip to Oklahoma.
The Heuertz family, including two young children, had no local contacts and limited funds, with the father, a veteran and government employee, affected by missed paychecks due to a government shutdown.
They called 9-1-1, prompting assistance from a Missouri State Highway Patrol officer and Big Boys Towing and Recovery.
The incident underscored acts of kindness during the holidays, showing how strangers helped a family in distress.
