On another occasion, I rolled over my Subaru Forester. This was also shortly after midnight, when I was returning from San Jose to San Francisco. Having rolled my car over I climbed back up onto the freeway exit and waved my hands for help.

Car after car passed by. I was there many minutes, trying to grab people's attention. Until finally a minivan stopped, again driven by a young woman (this time I would have guessed in her mid 20s). She called 911 for me, let me call my friend on her phone, and then waited with me till the police were there. I was so incredibly touched by her assistance to a stranger on the road at an outlandish time.
