An elderly woman has been filmed driving her mobility scooter onto a busy interstate highway in the United States.
The woman, in her 70s or 80s according to local news, was spotted and filmed on Facebook Live by Towanna Murphy – who helped guide the busy traffic away from her before police arrived at the scene.
“She said, ‘I could have been all the way to Chicago by now’,” Murphy told Fox 13. “I said, ‘You wasn’t going to make it mother’.”
Memphis Police Department said the woman was taken to hospital after eventually being stopped, and has since been safely returned home.
