Neighbors told Channel 11 "it was so loud" they thought it was "two cars crashing." One neighbor said the female driver ran away and appeared to be under the influence.
Police said the woman may have jumped into a red vehicle driven by someone else, possibly a ride-sharing service.
There's no word on any injuries from authorities.
