Trooper White had just left a Mobil Gas Station in Boca Raton, and was at the intersection of Interstate 95 entrance ramps at Congress Avenue. While Trooper White was stopped at the intersection, she observed a young female exit an older model Honda Civic, black in color with red trim bearing Florida Tag NBZZ70.
The female appeared to be in distress and was waving her arms in attempt to get White’s attention.
