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.
My first accident was fatal. I got pushed into a wall but there was no witnesses. The knockout i received from said wall and the involuntary pitting of other dude resulted in his death. I was 18. I was a mess for months. The news said I was dead because of the damage and size of my car in comparison to his truck. Fucked my life up for a while.
