"(The) trooper had to point out on a map where they were and she realized it, then they had to figure out how to get her home," Francis said. Since the woman was unable to walk, their only option was to call for an ambulance and they'd have to strap her to a backboard to get her home, then figure out a way to get her scooter to her, Francis said. So instead, the trooper mapped out the route to her home decided to give her a police escort, riding behind her at a very slow speed with his lights on to make sure no one would hit her.
"(The trooper) said he drove her 3 1/2 miles at 6 mph to finally get her home," Francis said.
Francis said the trooper was eager to get the story out as many people who passed them during the escort thought he was trying to pull her over, and photos and videos of the incident were starting to make their way in the social media rounds.
