The woman tried to hang on and get back inside the car, before she started to yell at the unknown man to stop driving before the crash at 19th and “E”. The man left southbound on foot and the victim was taken to a Lincoln hospital for non life-threatening injuries.

The vehicle, a 2018 Toyota Corolla, was worth about $14,000. No arrests have been made.
