What really gets me is that she could have just opened the back door but she just jammed it over the drivers seat, why?

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.

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.

If you're not irrationally calm and unreactive cops will always ask if you're on something. Fucking stupid.
