The Good Samaritan helped Yun T. Lee contact his family and then local police in Lawrenceville, more than 60 miles from home.

Lee was last seen around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday driving a silver 2006 Toyota Highlander. The vehicle apparently was spotted in Warren County later that day, the captain said.
