Jeep stranded in a water becomes a Social Media Sensation The vehicle, which the police in Myrtle shore, S.C., found abandoned as Hurricane Dorian loomed, grew into a popular meme. As he was turning, Mr. Farrar got stuck in a ditch in the sand and left the vehicle in search of help, but all of the towing companies he called said they couldn’t get to the vehicle before the hurricane was expected to strike. Someone noticed the abandoned vehicle on the beach, and called the police. Officers were sent around 7 a.m., according to a police report, but with the hurricane nearly upon them, they determined it was too dangerous for a tow truck to remove the Jeep. Before leaving, one officer attached a buoy to the bumper so the vehicle could be located later.
