Spared

My kids and I were traveling south on 87 between exits 15 and 12 to go to the Tree Padd. We were meeting up with my friend and her boys, driving along like any other day I saw a black car in my rear view and it was extremely close to my bumper. I checked my speed, and I was good. A couple seconds later the car went behind us and into the left lane, crossed over the speed rivits and into the dirt and then pulled bacl on to the road and started going extremely fast past me again. There were quite a few vehicles on the road and she was just swerving in and out, no signal, atleast 10 near misses. Crossed the entire 3 lanes in front of me, no signals, went off the right side of the road 2 more times. This could have caused a deadly chain reaction with one small bump. At one point I even sped up some to avoid her hitting me. There was an suv that almost hit her a few cars in front of me and they slammed on their brakes. So this was a woman driving a black car, there was a passenger, and the car had a Conn. plate. So after 10 or so minutes of this, my kids were really scared I got off exit 13 and called the police, gave them the info that I knew in a short version. This woman wasnt texting, wasnt on the phone, I dont think she had her seat belt on either. She was literally driving like she wanted to kill herself or others. Had to have been  under some sort of influence. So the officer on the phone was amazing, so nice, and got the info as quick as possible. Here's the kicker. The kids and I had just gotten to the tree padd in Malta, i paid, sat down, and my phone starts to vibrate, it's the police, they found the car and driver, she had crashed her vehicle and was off the road up 87 a bit further. Now the officer couldnt tell me anything else. She thanked me and was very happy the kids and I were ok. I believe my kids and I were spared. I just pray she didnt hurt anyone else.
