in the car we know you're driving we got to tag your plate who wants to come forward and then they'll be arrested okay okay um but the car their car does have insurance okay so that's going to completely cover everything okay all right cuz y'all's video saved the day y'all did great I know they and they going to pay for everything and if not more trust me I went to there you go the officer gathered statements from the victims and took pictures of the damage for the report Emergency Medical Services promptly arrived to assess the well-being of the shaken occupants ensuring they were unharmed all right man it sounds like she's a little more upset so I'm going to explain this to you I think he already did this is the case number okay just give me about 3 to five business days and she can come pick up the report I'd go ahead and have her call her insurance company when she gets home okay and start the claim yeah okay so she you you would suggest she start a claim with her company yeah just go ahead and start the claim and give them the basic information and I mean you got the tag number so you can give them their tag number too okay and just say that we're working on

be AC cuz it did that's not enough to cause anything up here okay I've never seen my car do that yeah if if you feel I mean if you feel nervous about it just go park it at the house and get it checked out in the morning but if yall feel like you need to go to the hospital i' do that too even if you got to take yourselves and don't want the ambulance ride cuz ultimately you know you know you said
