A Florida woman was charged with a DUI and reckless driving after plowing her car into the water on a beach, narrowly missing several bystanders.
"I was the driver, and they kind of stopped us, and they said that we almost hit a child," Ramswammy told an officer on bodycam video."I didn't think that we did, but that's what they told us."
An officer beach-goers standing next to a stalled car on the beach after a woman recklessly drove toward the crowd in Smyrna Dunes Park, Florida. Ramswammy and another woman who had been in the car told officers they were driving from New Smyrna and were trying to"turn around." "We didn't think that we could do a U-turn around here, so we basically just tried to keep going," Ramswammy said.
The officer then turns his body to face the car in the water. He proceeds to ask Ramswammy for her license, to which she responds she has it on her phone that is in that car.
