Alexis Scott-Windham said in an interview with NBC News on Friday that her mother, Tryphena Scott-Windham, told her friends to make a tourniquet to control her blood flow.
“They tied it around my ankle to cut out the circulation.”Then, Scott-Windham said, a stranger drove her to a nearby hospital.
"So I just told my daughter's friend to just tie her other sock around her leg so she wouldn't bleed so heavy," she told NBC News.
Scott-Windham said she tried to get away but the truck clipped the back of her right foot and she went down hard.
“I was supposed to go, like, to work that Jan. 2, at 2 a.m.,” she told NBC News.
