You do know that the tires were on ice and weren't getting traction well, right?
Speaking as someone that has done a lot of icey-road driving they can have traction, and then they don't, then they do, and then they don't.
And it wouldn't have been a life and death situation if she wasn't an Anti-ICE activist blocking traffic, complied with commands given by law enforcement, not tried to evade arrest which put an officer's life in danger.... and we know what happened next.
She's a victim of her own stupid choices.
