MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A harrowing Facebook video has gone viral on social media.
A woman, who appears to be in her 70s or 80s, was seen driving a mobility scooter onto a dangerous Memphis highway Friday evening around 7 p.m. The terrifying incident was recorded live on Facebook.
"Whoever is watching this video, please call 9-1-1, so we can get this lady where she's going," Murphy said.
The video was being filmed as a cry for help. Facebook user, Towanna Murphy, asked her friends to please share the information with police as she followed the woman onto Interstate 55.
The video ended with a Memphis police officer working to assist the woman off of the scooter, but she refused to comply.
Police were eventually able to help the woman to safety.
