OKLAHOMA CITY ( KFOR ) — An Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper stopped along I-40 early Thursday morning to help an elderly woman who was stranded with no gas.
He thought it would be a quick stop, by getting her some gas so she could be on her way.
However, he says the more they talked about where she was going, he realized something wasn’t quite right.

“Pretty quick, I noticed that some stuff wasn’t adding up because she told me that she was on her way to Dallas, but she was westbound on I-40 west of El Reno,” John Jones, Trooper with OHP said.
Jones was on his way to a meeting in Oklahoma City Thursday morning when he saw an SUV with its hazard lights flashing on the opposite side of the highway.
“So, I made a U-turn and went back to check on the vehicle,” Jones said. “When I got up there, initially the lady told me that she was just ran out of gas.”
Turns out, there was a bigger problem.
