Their delightful day out, however, was abruptly cut short when Affleck's truck was seen being loaded onto the back of a tow truck and being taken off the side of the freeway, Page Six reported.
The actor and Samuel entered a nearby petrol station for refreshments and were pictured checking their phones while the Bronco was being towed to the flatbed.

The “Daredevil” actor and his 55-year-divorced wife came back together to celebrate their children's return-to-school night.
At the event, Lopez, who is parents to 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, was “cordial” with Affleck and they appeared “totally cool with each other,” TMZ reported.
The duo reunited on several occasions, despite the fact that the “Selena” actress officially filed for divorce in August.
Last month, Affleck and Lopez were caught kissing while having brunch with their blended family in Los Angeles.

“[Lopez is] trying to be friendly with Ben. They are still moving forward with the divorce, though,” the source added.
