'Stranded for five hours'published at 11:04 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March 2018
Tracey Davies, from Cwmbran, says she had to get her husband Sion rescued after he became stranded for about five hours near Ross-on-Wye.
He had been travelling home from Birmingham and she was able to track his location on her phone and find a hotel.
"I rang the hotel, asked for a room and asked them if there was anyone who might be able to help rescue my husband," she said.
"Thankfully, a very kind man called Tom agreed. He first tried to rescue him in his 4x4, that failed so Tom went back and got his tractor to take him to the pub."
