SEYMOUR, Texas (AP) — A Texas grandmother who turned up missing while driving alone to Oklahoma has been found by relatives next to her wrecked car in a ravine.

Family members located 75-year-old Wanda Mobley of Brownwood near Seymour early Sunday.

Relatives say Mobley on Friday left home bound for Oklahoma — but never made it. They filed a missing person report.

Investigators on Saturday told Mobley's family that her cellphone last pinged near Seymour, about 140 miles north of Brownwood. Family members then scoured a rural area near U.S. 183 and found Mobley and her crashed vehicle.

Mobley says she survived on Sprite and oily water dripping from her car.

Mobley was transported to a Wichita Falls hospital, where she's recovering from bruises and a fractured lower back.
