"She was driving on the left lane here. That's why her car is on the median," said Harmon.

Officers were seen talking with the woman whose windshield was cracked from the impact.

"She didn't try to. She couldn't stop it. The light was green. She was driving. She didn't try to hit him," said Harmon.
