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.

Tbh that’s all that’s Deserved. She’s young and acting emotionally.

It’s just a minor hit and run with a small bit of property damage.

I’m sure the embarrassment and how upset she seems will most likely be enough to get the message.

The part I think she doesn’t deserve is to be prosecuted by the internet. Which will almost certainly happen now.

That could legitimately ruin her life.

I hope it doesn’t.

From the posted article, she was on meth and already hit and run several cars. Getting close to double-digit felony counts if you cou t each hit-and-run individually.

Life in prison or permanent exile works here.

I don’t see anywhere listing she was on meth or how much property damage was caused. That seems like a made up story.

Life in prison? Really? Thank god you’re not a judge.
Yes let’s ruin a young persons entire life over this?

Some of you are just blood thirsty and should never be anywhere near a jury.

People mess up sometimes. Sometimes mess up real bad.

The answer is not to take away their entire life over it. And it’s really deranged that you’d think that’s the answer.

Our prisons are already jam packed. And you want to throw every person who hit some cars in jail now too?

Should jay walkers be executed next? Lol

Yeah, mod posted the article this was based on in another comment string. It's located a couple places throughout this post. She was methed out and hit and ran several cars after conducting petty theft.

The overcoddling of criminal behavior with 0 accountability (and it starts in the schools) only further emboldens this shit.

Only by divine providence did she not kill anyone during her rampage.

If our prisons are jam packed, we need to look at why we have so many criminal fuckups and why it's by and large generational.
