An elderly couple were trapped inside their brand new Mazda 3 for 13 hours. The car was equipped with push button starting and keyless entry all controlled by a radio-controlled by a key fob, which was lost. The couple were rescued the next morning by neighbors when the couple was close to death, according to emergency services. Maybe this is a good time to remind senior citizens not to get all of the available bells and whistles on their new cars.
The Otago Daily Times explains that a "series of unfortunate events" and “a combination of stress, night-time, and what they called a lack of information from the salesperson" conspired against the pair.
