No charges for female motorist who jumped out of moving car that rolled into oncoming traffic

A woman from San Bernardino in Orange County, California, abruptly stopped her car along a major street, abandoned the vehicle and allowed it to roll into the path of oncoming traffic in an unusual crash that was captured on video. The incident, which took place at about 3:45pm on Tuesday was recorded by a dashboard camera.
As depicted in the video, the woman was at the wheel of a 2010 Hyundai Sonata heading downhill along a major thoroughfare when the car suddenly came to a screeching halt. The driver exited the car and walked away casually, allowing the Hyundai to continue rolling. The Hyundai crossed over a central divider and into oncoming traffic lanes, where it collided with an SUV.
Another SUV then became caught up in the wreck as well before the driverless Hyundai continued to the side of the road before striking two trees, according to an officer from the CHP’s Santa Fe Springs area office. The drivers of the other two vehicles involved in the crash reported only minor injuries, officials said.

The driver of the Hyundai, identified as 22-year-old Jasmine Lacey of San Bernardino, was taken to a hospital for “a non injury-related reason” before CHP officers arrived on scene. “(Lacey) was later contacted and identified at St. Jude Medical Center facility and, after investigation of the traffic collision, was arrested for DUI,” a CHP officer said. But Lacey was released from custody early on Saturday due to insufficient evidence to support a criminal complaint, according to Los Angeles County booking records.
