After the young woman was traveling fast and hit the couple, she collided with a bus stop and injured two more pedestrians. The video, documented by the security camera on the bus that was driving behind her, captured the frightening moment, after which Baya fled the scene. Shortly afterwards local police were able to locate Baya’s location and she was taken into custody.
