The woman whose driving provided a few scary moments at Gastonia intersection on Thursday is still being evaluated and is not in jail- yet.

The officer said he attempted to calm the woman, but instead she backed up and rammed into his patrol vehicle.

A woman was taken to the hospital after a wild ride in Gastonia Thursday where she struck civilian and police cars before overturning down an embankment.

The officer jumped out of the way to avoid being struck, and she slammed into the cruiser twice as she again started driving in circles. Police said the woman’s vehicle then went out of control. He then points his phone at the ground while screaming his blood lust for the cops to shoot, as the lady careens her vehicle off the side of the road, flipping it down a hill and taking out a fire hydrant with her. After she’s finally pulled out of her auto and restrained, the woman can be heard yelling something about being bullied.

A witness said she got out of her auto and starting singing the phrase “Jesus loves the little children of the world”.

One man was overheard saying: “This woman just crashed into two police cars”.

One bystander repeatedly encouraged police to “shoot her *ss”.

The woman was taken to Caromont Regional Medical Center to be checked out by doctors. Gastonia police told Channel 9 that they were responding to a call about a careless and reckless driver.

She then began talking about God’s law as an approaching ambulance siren drowned her out.

Ultimately officers got her cuffed, and no one was seriously injured.
