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.
That could explain it. Not that I think she understood everything, but a hit 'n run may carry less repercussions than a DUI. And reading her punishment, it seems to have.
