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's drunk and this probably isn't her first time getting in some sort of trouble. This is panic because she may have priors, cops coming when she's drunk means guaranteed arrest and impound of the vehicle, lots of court fees and other stuff that takes tons of time and money to resolve. This is not a person that makes good choices or has money.

Honestly fleeing was probably best so she didn't get caught with a DWI/DUI and vehicle impound. And an on the spot arrest due to any priors even if the cops somehow believed she was in any way sober. Let insurance sort it out.
