Tulsa police say the elderly woman found injured and in a nightgown has been reunited with family members.

Shortly before 815 a.m. Monday, she was found injured, lying in the driveway of a home in the 8100 block of South Elwood.

She was only wearing a light green night gown and had scrapes and scratches on her knees, elbows and face.

Tulsa Police said the woman didn't know her name and was disoriented. They circulated a photo of the woman's wedding ring.

"She had wandered off," said Public Information Officer Leland Ashley. The family was not aware the woman had left home until they saw the photo of the woman's ring.

The woman was taken to a hospital in critical condition.

"My last understanding is that she is doing ok," Ashley said Tuesday morning.

The woman was still under observation but is expected to be all right.
