The preliminary investigation shows the woman was traveling on I-24 and got off the Medical Center Pkwy. exit. The woman was driving a Ford Focus when she hit a curb, disabling the vehicle. Two good Samaritan stopped to assist. The woman ended up driving away in one of the Good Samaritan’s vehicles, a gray SUV. She drove down Medical Center Pkwy, crashing into two vehicles. The woman was confronted by the 18-year-old and minor child, causing her to cross into the on-coming lane of traffic near Joe Knight Dr. and came to a stop after hitting a tree. After the crash, she took off running.

A Murfreesboro Police Officer chased the woman on foot and was taken into custody with assistance from a Metro Nashville Police Department off-duty officer. The Good Samaritan was reunited with her children, who were not injured.
