GRANITE FALLS, N.C. -- Granite Falls police are looking for a man they say climbed out of a window after a car accident, leaving a couple trapped in their car for nine hours. 

Police were told by the couple that they were in an accident with an acquaintance named “Shawn.” They said after the accident, Shawn was able to climb through the front window but they couldn't fit. He left the scene and didn't return.

 

 

 
The couple says took a nap and woke up. They were then able to break free and find help.  The police chief says this should be a reminder.

"When you’re traveling at night, you have got to have a phone that is charged up. You have got to have a phone that's available. Let people know you are going to be out​,” said Chris Jenkins, the police chief of Granite Falls.

They are asking if you know who Shawn is or what happened when the car went off the road, to contact the Granite Falls Police Department.
