Tourist trapped with family for 24 hours in snow-covered vehicle in Catamarca

A group of travelers was stranded by a heavy snowstorm on Mount Pissis in Argentina's Catamarca province. One of those affected admitted they were unprepared, and tourism officials called for stronger preventive measures.
