She ultimately parked the car in a garage and police found her hiding in a nearby bar.

‘I’m not leaving. Am I leaving?’ she says as she gets in the car and speeds down the street leaving a cloud of smoke in her wake. The car squeaks as it accelerates

The camera gets a close-up look at the front right tire that was twisted completely perpendicular during the crash.
The witnesses can be heard asking the woman to get out of her car and saying that there’s no way she’ll be able to drive away given the extensive damage.
The engine nonetheless does start and the woman peels out onto the street as smoke billows from her squeaking car.
The witnesses are stunned that she’s fled the scene but quickly decide to follow her. Several of them start running while others jump in another vehicle.
They follow the tire tracks left behind by her car down the street.
