Hit-and-Run is a serious crime. And somebody in the Australian state of Victoria has been critically injured so I'm not going to make light of it.
But the driver is blaming her car.
She can't be too bright because when she did the "run" bit, she did it on foot leaving the car behind.
It's a Tesla and she claims it was in "auto-pilot" mode. I'm sure the car will be able to tell the Victorian Police what mode it was in at the time, but even if it was driving, as Tesla keep pointing out, the person sat in the driver's seat is still in charge.
I think Tesla really could do with renaming that feature.
Apparently, when this comes to Court, there will be much interest in the outcome from a legal responsibility point of view and also from an insurance payout point of view.
But at least she was caught.
Unlike the paraglider pilot in this story.
