Mom dies in car while son gets ticket


A Memphis man was driving his 83 year old mom to the hospital when he was pulled over by the county sheriff's deputy. He was pulled over for an expired license plate.

The man, Wayne Ables asked the deputy to follow him to the hospital (which was less than a mile away), but the deputy refused and went ahead and wrote out the ticket, and ran a license and insurance check. All the while, Mr. Ables' mother was dying in the backseat.

Vernice Ables', Wayne's mom, suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and had stopped breathing.
