Teacher: In this task, you're given a context passage, followed by a question that needs to be answered. Based on the paragraph, you must write unambiguous answers to the questions and your answer must refer to a specific phrase from the paragraph. If multiple answers seem to exist, write the answer that is the most plausible.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
Tracy slept awkwardly on their new bed and was having some pain, so Tracy cracked her neck. 
Question: What did Tracy do with her neck?
Solution: crack her neck
Reason: The output phrase perfectly answers the question and is explicitly mentioned in the passage as well.

Now, solve this instance: I suppose I should have thanked God that she hadn't died in the middle of the Idaho mountains . She had the mechanics puzzled and I ended up staying another night at a reduced rate courtesy of the Comfort Inn's " stranded car " policy . The shuttle driver of the inn blithely informed me that he'd gotten stranded here five years ago and never left . 
Question: Who or what nearly died in the middle of the Idaho mountains ?
Student:

Show your work and conclude with the exact phrasing "Therefore, the final answer is [answer]." where [answer] is just the final number or expression that solves the problem.
