[laughter] [screaming] >> 28-year-old Karen had no idea she had just taken a life. >> When I got sideswiped and T-boned, it completely threw my car off. My tire got flat, my front front right end tire, and totally veered me off into here. >> One crash and a horrifying truth. A nighttime crash, an abandoned vehicle, and the female driver's initial account immediately raised the officer's suspicions. >> Can I step out for me real quick? Where was everybody else that was in the car? >> Nobody else was in the car. >> Nobody else was in the car? >> Not a single person. >> Okay. So, what happened? >> I was turning left and somebody completely sideswiped and hit tail end of my front right, and >> Hey, where were they? Where were they turning from? >> From right there. This road right here, turning left, and I was turning left as well, and I had to right of way. I had the right. >> Did you have a green light or a red light? >> light. I had a green steady light, and I was coming from that way, turned left. >> So, you were on Country Club? Or you were on >> I was on 25. It was on 35, I'm sorry. >> Okay. You were on 25, heading north or south? >> It's Valley South, correct? >> Towards St. Charles is the south. Okay. >> And I was heading to turn this way. And as soon as I did, they swiped my right front end. >> Okay. So, you were turning left on the Country Club >> So, I was coming from this way. Coming left from this road. >> This is Country Club, though. >> Okay. >> So, give me a second here. >> Okay. I'm sorry. I'm I I'm so frazzled. I finally just got off the phone with dispatch, and I'm like shaking up. >> This is Route 25, going up and down. This is Country Club. You were trying to make a left on the Country Club, which is this road right right here, where my squad car is parked. >> So, right here is 25, correct? >> No, this is Country Club. >> I'm turning on 25. is 25? >> 25 is over there. >> Okay, so then I may have the road names wrong. However, I was coming from this road. >> Okay. So you were on Country Club? >> I was on Country Club. I was turning left on this street light. I had the >> The street light is over there. >> Right here, sir. >> There's not a street light here though, ma'am. >> Sir, >> Those are my Those are my squad car lights. >> No, no. There's a street light right ahead of that. Ahead of the squad car. >> She insisted that a mysterious SUV had hit her, but the damage on her car quietly told a completely different story. >> SUV >> And they were on Country Club. >> They were right here and they were turning left that way. I was turning left this way. I had the steady green light to turn left. They sideswiped my >> You had a steady green light? So like just a green circle? >> A green circle, yes. And they had >> How'd you end up down here? >> When I got sideswiped and T-boned, it completely threw my car off. My tire got flat, my front front right end tire and totally veered me off into here. I was holding on for dear life just >> Go ahead. >> I was about to scream. Next thing you know, I'm in this. I did call 911 the dispatcher and she said just stay put. They're going to find you. >> Did you come to a stop at the intersection? >> I did. >> Okay, then how'd you end up over here? >> Again, when I turned left, I got my front right end right end uh T-boned. >> Yep, and you came to a stop? >> I was at a stop before I turned. >> Okay, so after you >> wasn't turned, she completely slammed into me and then my tire flattened and I >> Did you come to a complete stop after the accident happened? >> I do not know. I couldn't. My car was completely veered in. I couldn't even halt until I came to this >> And you think an SUV hit you? Can you describe it? >> It was like a hatchback looking situation. >> Okay. >> I don't know for sure. >> me? Don't remember? >> Darker colored like SUV or hatchback. I do not know, honestly. I saw it and I saw it for a brief second and >> What's that? You see the other driver at all? >> I did not, no. I saw the car for a brief second and right before I was getting into the ditch. >> Okay. So, you're coming from a friend's house in South Elgin. You were south on 25 making a left hand on a Country Club. And then you were side swiped by an SUV that was turning from Country Club onto 25. >> This is crazy. >> And they were making a left. >> As police analyzed the direction of the impact, every detail in her story began to fall apart. Yet, the driver still insisted she remembered everything correctly. >> So, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If that car is making a left and you're making a left, it would have been a front end damage or it would have been your driver side. So, how's your passenger side get damaged? >> I mean, I would say it was more of a T-bone than a side swipe, but >> But, if the T-bone would have happened, it would have been on your driver side. >> I know, but I started turning in and she kept going and we were in the intersection when that happened. >> your driver side against her front end. >> If you say so, but I know what happened, so. >> Okay. And nobody else was in the vehicle when the >> No, not as far as I >> occurred? Okay. And where are you headed to? >> Home. And then I'm going to freak out if I don't get there. >> How old are you? >> I'm 28. >> 28? Okay. Hold tight real quick, ma'am. >> Okay. >> I don't know how to do that. I'm pretty sure you're allowed to keep inside. >> I'm I'll go through it all. Just keep it in here. Okay. Okay. Have you had anything to drink tonight, ma'am? >> I had not. >> Nothing? >> No. >> Have you had any drugs or any any >> I have a medical condition. >> Anything that would make you impaired? >> No, sir. >> Okay. Are you wanting to do a field sobriety test? >> not. >> She denied drinking and refused a field sobriety test, unaware that her next decision would send the case in a far more serious direction. You're under arrest for DUI. >> Thank you. >> Turn around. Put your hands behind >> I'll take you to the hospital. >> You want to be checked out? >> No. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> You have to walk through a broken fence, so >> No problem. >> All right, we're just going to go straight up this hill. Just be careful. >> Yep. You got it. >> Right here.

We'll leave We'll leave the We'll leave the the We'll leave the car. >> Okay, but it's not just about that. It's about >> This is the only car I have. This is like I live in this car. Like >> Okay, well >> Please have compassion. >> So, >> I'll just leave right now. >> If you can get the vehicle registered, you'll be able to pick it up from the tow yard, show that it's registered, and you can pick it up. >> really. >> What? >> Can we Can we just leave?
