Woman stranded in middle of road after wheelchair breaks down

A woman was left stranded and crying after her wheelchair broke down in the middle of the road.

Sarah Alexander, from Skelmersdale, said she nearly fell out of the wheelchair a few weeks ago as she crossed the road because the suspension was "so badly broken". The 35-year-old was left stuck in the middle of the road and kind hearted drivers who were passing by came to her aid, reports LancsLive.

The disability and lifestyle content creator, writer and activist is currently forced to use the wheelchair despite it being broken. The leg rest of Sarah's wheelchair was also smashed and she had to carry it to the kerb.
