Between cuts to the footage, firefighters told Chavez they were calling police, and she got back in her car and drove around the block twice, according to City News Service.

“We were right in front of it, so we could see it all,” witness Frank Rojas told City News Service. “When she started to drive off, we just assumed she was going to drive off and that was the end of it,” he added. The witness said he thought a police chase might begin after the physical confrontation, but “we were shocked by the fact that she went back and still got hit by a car.”
