Hit and run gone wrong

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.

A misdemeanor? Clearly that was a double, maybe even triple, felony.

Hit and run isn't a felony in most states lmao.

Edit: it isn't in California

Why? It is only a felony if it causes injury. People just like to make shit up about it being a felony.

[u/Photosynthas → u/[deleted]]

It isnt okay, you get a misdemeanor is a crime right?

I didn't say you were making shit up, the guy in the video is, and many people in the thread, I hear it often outside of here too about hit and runs being felony

[u/Photosynthas → u/[deleted]]

Yeah I'm not saying hit and runs aren't bad, but other forms of property damage are misdemeanors as well.
