HEBER, Wasatch County — A man needed rescuing from a dirt road on Strawberry Peak after Google recommended it as a shortcut to take on Thursday morning.

Wasatch County search and rescue said the 911 dispatch center received a call from a 23-year-old man stuck on the road in his Toyota Turcell on the west side of Strawberry Peak.

Rescue crews said the route he took was a “shortcut that Google recommended between Springville and Vernal,” but did not say which road it was.
