A video taken on a mobile phone of an older woman on a mobility scooter braving the severe flooding in the north of England has gone viral on the internet across the globe.
Stephanie Jubb captured the moment the driver of a mobility scooter drove into and through deep water in Sheffield.
Jubb captured the moment by chance after the woman drove past while she was filming the floodwater on Thursday.
“The woman just started driving and we were like ‘she’s not gonna do it, she’s not gonna do it’ and then she just carried on,”
“She didn’t even lift her legs up or anything.”
After a trip to the shops the woman later returned via the same route, driving back through the flooding.
“She’s come back through it with her shopping bags, but we didn’t get that on tape,” Ms Jubb said.
Reports that she was late for bingo were unfounded, it was a trip to the shops and nothing was going to stop this old lady!
