ROWLAND HEIGHTS >> A San Bernardino woman abruptly stopped her car along a major street, abandoned the vehicle and allowed it to careen into opposing traffic in a bizarre crash captured in a video that emerged this weekend, authorities said.
The crash, which took place about 3:45 p.m. Tuesday along Harbor Boulevard between Vantage Point Drive and Pathfinder Road (https://www.google.com/maps/place/33%C2%B057%2748.6%22N+117%C2%B054%2752.1%22W/@33.962983,-117.9160572,15z/data=%214m2%213m1%211s0x0:0x0), was recorded by a dashboard camera in a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luFgV4nuSxc) that quickly went viral after being uploaded to YouTube late Friday by user UlikeUC Here (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7f1j6Kvd-5jD5cDsk2Z56w). By Saturday afternoon, the video had been viewed more than 170,000 times.

As depicted in the video, titled, “Bizarre Accident,” a woman was at the wheel of a 2010 Hyundai Sonata heading downhill along the 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 out of control.

The Hyundai crossed over a center divider and into opposing 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, striking two trees along the sidewalk, 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, the CHP said.
“(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 Saturday due to insufficient evidence to support a criminal complaint, according to Los Angeles County booking records.
Apparently, Lacey is pretty much almost going to get away with this. The San Bernardino Sun says (http://www.sbsun.com/general-news/20150905/bizarre-crash-caught-on-camera-in-rowland-heights)Lacey was arrested for driving under the influence, but was later released from custody due to insufficient evidence to support a criminal complaint.

----Morgan not required to appear in court, pleads not guilty through lawyer.
SAN DIEGO -- A San Diego woman who was shown on TV allegedly drunk and passed out behind the wheel of her car in the middle of Interstate 805 pleaded not guilty Friday to misdemeanor DUI charges.
Amber McKinney Morgan, 25, was not in court and entered the plea through her attorney, Gerry Braun of the City Attorney's Office said. A readiness conference was set for June 3.
Morgan was seen in a stupor in her sedan, which had stopped in the number three lane of northbound 805 under the Clairemont Mesa Boulevard bridge at 1:45 a.m. on March 27.

As traffic sped past, CHP officers were seen risking their lives to break open a window and get Morgan out of her vehicle.

A witness tried to awaken Morgan and called 911 for help as he recorded the unfolding drama on his cellphone.
A CHP officer, identified as Sergio Flores, darted onto the freeway to first try to awaken Morgan then break a window, but was unsuccessful.
After a second CHP officer blocked traffic, Flores was able to break a passenger-side window with his flashlight.
