No serious injuries were reported in the crash.

The minute-and-a-half video also shows bystanders encouraging the woman to run off.

“You better run and leave the car,” someone is heard saying. “Run, leave the car! F--- the keys, come and leave the car.”

Police said they did not see any signs of intoxication.

The woman, who has not been publicly identified, was cited for driving too fast for conditions and careless driving.
