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.
