It states that the 2011 San Francisco crash left a 13-year-old girl paralyzed, although it offers no proof for this assertion.
The tale was widely spread online when it was posted on September 2 by News, a website that poses as a media outlet. Millions of people have read some right-leaning users’ internet posts that reference the tale.
The website has since been taken down after news site Verify discovered multiple erroneous details that point to it being a phony.
The five-minute video that goes with the online story features an interview with a lady named Alicia Brown, 26, who the article claims is paralyzed.
She is seen at an unnamed place, sitting down, but there is no proof to support her identity or indicate if she is paralyzed.
Without providing any context, the piece uses both Alisha and Alicia to refer to her.
She says in the video that she and her mother were crossing the street in San Francisco in June 2011 when they were hit by a car. She then goes on to say—again without supplying any proof—that Kamala Harris was the driver who struck her.
The video’s narrator then states that the woman has had 11 surgeries, and two X-rays are seen.
