This is from a newspaper article.

"Salesmen trapped in a car after meteor shower".

Meaning they were found trapped after the meteor shower was over?

It could be interpreted that way but it also has the meaning that the meteor shower caused them to be trapped. We don't know if they were found or if they managed to free themselves.
