Massachusetts police say woman 'terrified' after finding man hiding in back seat of her car

A woman in Massachusetts was “extremely frightened" after she was driving her car and found a man hiding under a coat in the back seat, the Yarmouth Police Department says.

"A Yarmouth Police Officer was patrolling near the Route 6 exit ramp just before 1 AM when he came upon a vehicle he thought was disabled. As he went to check on the car, he saw a woman standing outside of it attempting to dial 911. She appeared to be scared and upset as she explained to the officer what had just occurred," police said in a statement.  Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.

"The woman said she did not notice anything out of the ordinary after leaving her friend’s house, but a short time later a light came on inside her car while driving," the statement continued. "As she looked into the back seat, she was surprised to see a man hiding with a coat pulled over his head. Extremely frightened, she began driving erratically and the man fell out of the open rear door of the car."
