Woman Attempts to Ride Motorized Wheelchair Up Subway Escalator, Inevitability Ensues
First of all, she's fine. Minor scratches and maybe some mild bruising, but nothing that should prevent you from laughing at her misfortune.
An unidentified 56-year-old Southie thought she was saving herself some time by boarding a Boston subway station escalator with her motorized scooter.
As it turned out, she wasn't.
MBTA CCTV cameras captured the woman's run-in with technology as the mobility device succumbed to logic and flipped over. An MBTA employee rushed over to stop the moving stairs, and passers-by helped the woman to her feet.
She reportedly walked away from the scene unscathed.
