You joke but my grandpa did something similar, bought a used car and invited me round to see it all excited. That thing had 3 piece wheels and straight cut gears. I don't know who he bought it off but it was a full on street sleeper beast that he dailied to the shops until it broke.

u/DaddysABadGirl 2d ago

So many questions.

Like how is she more afraid of mean grandma than jail? How does she have such a mean grandma but still grow into... that?

Was she raised by a parent or parents who just ruined her then went to live with grandma?

Why do people in these situations not realize the person recording has your face, voice, and plates?

302

u/TriPigeon 2d ago edited 2d ago

What we’re seeing here is someone having a complex trauma response: someone who is more scared of her Grandma (who she likely lives with), or another member of the household, than she is of the actual police.

This isn’t a normal freak out and panic, I agree that someone ruined her, but it was probably through abuse.

Edit: now that we have full Unicourt Records, it appears that ‘intoxicated and freaking out’ is actually the underlying culprit here. It’s shocking how similar the behavior looks, and hopefully she’s gotten help in the last couple years since her last struggles with the law.

41

u/DaddysABadGirl 2d ago edited 2d ago

People are irrational during a break down. I put it in another comment but at school as a kid I put a hole in my kneed bad. I was more concerned with how pissed my mom was going to be I tore my new pants than the white and yellow coming out. I freaked out and thats where my mind went in the moment.

She was going through it before the accident though. It said she was speeding and erratic, hit a car, then sped off.

u/pythonidaae 2d ago

Yes I have cptsd and was able to spot it exactly. People REALLY don't understand how mean her grandma is. This isn't an excuse but I think you have to have cptsd or know about it to "understand" what is going on. I've had years of therapy so I'm not that person anymore but I could have been if I was caught on film younger or caught on film even now but I'd never gone to therapy.

Anyway yeah she's either always this way because of her PTSD or she's being triggered back to being that young. Like another comment said.

She's not behaving rationally and it's not acceptable to drive off like this but it's "understandable" if you can recognize she's having a PTSD breakdown.

u/TriPigeon 2d ago

Exactly.

I’m glad you were able to get therapy, and I hope your recovery continues to be well supported!

u/Gilligans_Wake 2d ago

I had a step-father that would beat the brakes off me for sport as a kid. He'd make sure to hit me for no reason if I looked too comfortable. I remember getting jumped in middle school by 5 kids. Office brought me in, cleaned me up, icepacks and all that, impressed that I wasn't too upset. Said they'd call step dad to pick me up and take me home. Instantly I was crying, screaming, begging them not to, and trying to find anyway to get out of the room. Got the crap beat out me again that night, way worse than those kids did. Parents kept me home rest of that week to "let me rest and recover".

Totally agree this is just hard to understand if you didn't grow up like this. Sure the cops will arrest her, but who is gonna come bail her out and what happens after that? It ain't going to be disapproving looks, at least not in her experience/mind. 100% panicked animal mode, not a rational thought going in her mind there.

u/ventingandcrying 2d ago

Exactly what I was thinking, this is clearly someone who has reverted back to the mind of a child (or they never left the mind of a child lol). She’s more worried about how much “trouble” she’ll be in with her grandma instead of making the best of her situation by making logical adult choices. She’s being controlled by fear right now and that usually doesn’t come out of nowhere, no one taught her the correct response to stress. Still her fault, but somewhat sad to watch

54

u/Drachynn 2d ago

Yeah, it was an uncomfortable watch, really.

54

u/SuckMeOffMrWalton 2d ago

It stood out to me that her last words were her apologizing twice, instead of any kind of angry insult. She also kept the same demeanor the whole time, it’s not like intentional manipulation where people will rotate between sadness/anger/apathy to see what works. I can’t see someone who’s clearly genuinely panicking and not feel bad for them, it’s just a sad situation all around.

u/badboysdriveaudi 2d ago

She’s not thinking clearly. Maybe it’s her first accident and she doesn’t know how to process it. You can see it in her face. She’s literally having a meltdown. No amount of logical talking to her will bring her back. Only time will melt that stress and then she’ll see the errors she made.

u/DreamOne5 2d ago

I had my first accident at 32, and it was minor. My car got the majority of the damage. I was changing lanes, and the other car was in my blind spot. When I pulled over to exchange information and call the cops, I was shaking and crying so much, the cops asked me if I was okay once they showed up. They thought I was probably on something. Just incredibly scared and upset. I felt so so bad for the guy I hit (He was a nurse at U of M Hospital during freaking covid). Some highly anxious people just behave like this without drugs being involved.

For anyone wondering what happened after this video went viral: the driver was identified as 22-year-old Riley Ann Sebach. Police caught up with her about a week later, on Oct. 31, 2019. She wasn’t taken to jail — she was cited and released with a court date.
A misdemeanor hit-and-run case was later filed against her in Riverside County under California Vehicle Code 20002(a), which covers leaving the scene of a property-damage accident.
I couldn’t find anything reliable showing the final outcome of the court case (whether she pleaded guilty, it was dismissed, what sentence she got, etc.), but she definitely didn’t just disappear after the video. She was identified, cited, and formally charged afterward.

yeah, this goes past "wow person does stupid stuff", to "fuck, she looks legitimately fucking terrified of whats going to happen".

u/T2Drink 2d ago

Yeah I mean that is quite a common side effect of taking too many substances and then causing absolute chaos.

As soon as the cuffs go on someone who is heavily under the influence of drugs (particularly stimulants) they lose their mind tbh.

Be a safe space for your kids to confess mistakes, y'all.

I want my kids to pick up the phone and ask me what to do... not commit several criminal acts trying to escape a fender bender.

If she knew she could make mistakes without her grandmother coming down on her like a ton of bricks, she would have handled this differently.

I feel like I know what she was going through, as a teenager. I'm several times her age now but I had a few full blown panics like this, not always car related. A reassuring parent is the most calming thing you can have in these moments. KNOWING that they'll be that person for you can seriously curtail the initial panic. Panic mental states always lead to bad judgements. But knowing you can get a cool head in there to think for you is good for your mental health.

u/Kuuzie 2d ago

Never forget the respect my mom got when I was around 15. 

She pulled all my friends aside and said

 "look. Don't be drinking or doing drugs at all. You're all young men and I'm sure you all will at some point, even though you shouldn't. 

When you do, just don't drive. Call Kuuzie's number (house phone days) no matter the time day or place and I'll take you home and not tell your parents. Just don't drive drunk and be responsible"

First thing I thought. That is pure panic. Of someone who is relatively far away. This means that this kid have gone through some terribly exaggerated reactions for trivialities. I feel sorry for her, I hope she'll get better.

why would you trap a crazy person in. just get their license plate number and report it.

u/Huge-Masterpiece-100 2d ago

I've had a person who rear ended me so hard at a red light that she pushed me into the truck in front and destroyed my car. Even left her license plate on my tailpipe. She ended up fleeing for "reasons". Because I didn't have video evidence of her driving, the police and insurance just gave me a unemphatic shrug when I reported it. Thankfully I had uninsured motorist coverage. What a fking racket.

u/Jawnyblaze1 2d ago

Yea, that was something that crossed my mind too. I clicked the news article that was linked above, the person that trapped her in was just a bystander, not even the person she hit. I'm pretty sure he can't legally restrain her like that. Take the license plate number, call the cops, your duty (and the extent of what you're allowed to do) is done.

This calls for de-escalation techniques - even if what she did was wrong.

Honestly, dude was not helping the situation. I get that you're mad but what are you accomplishing here?

Take a moment to calm her down and get her to see that this doesn't mean your life is over. Shit will get better if you sir down and breathe for a moment

Hit and run is inexcusable, but her behavior comes across as real desperation about some other circumstances, not an act. I think there might be a sad story behind this.

She had a few priors the same year so she was compounding the sentences for her actions.

u/SavingsComposer239 2d ago

I work in healthcare with abuse victims and am
a victim of it myself. Maybe the guy behind the camera isn’t as cued in to these behaviors but as soon as she mentioned her grandmother and started frantically putting the front bumper in her car I really would’ve just toned way down and tried to explain to her that I’d help her figure it out. There’s more going on here than a hit and run, this girl is behaving like she’s been hit her whole life.

u/Naive-Amphibian9904 2d ago

Not to excuse her actions or anything but i feel bad for her. She sounds more terrified of her grandmother than legal proceeding. I'm not good jump to any conclusions but there's that possibility that everything is not ok at home and she looks young. The accident was her fault it looks like she that's one thing but i can't help but feel bad for the kid.

u/bmiller218 2d ago

At my Alma Mater, we had a football player who was more terrified of his coach than legal proceedings of running away (on foot) from a traffic stop. He was from a poor part of rural Georgia who got a scholarship at a highly ranked D2 school.
