New video shows the end of a wild and dangerous ride by an accused drunk driver in Edmond.
Police bodycam video shows a driver dazed and confused.
Reports show 911 callers helped police track down Daquila Jackson, before she hurt anyone else.
Victim: I didn't see it because it just rear ended me.
The hit-and-run happened near Danforth and Sante Fe on Saturday.
Victim: I don't know where the other person is, I think it's a hit and run. He left!
And while the victim could not describe the driver others were watching and helping police track down the suspect.
911: Is anybody injured?
911 Caller: I don't know! We left the scene to chase after the drunk guy!
911: Ma’am take a deep breath.
911 Caller: He's drunk! He's in different lanes! Oh God, he's in oncoming traffic right now! People are swerving in ditches! We need cops fast! Oh my god! There was almost a head on traffic! Oh my God!!!!
Police said the driver, Jackson, crashed through a fence and into a thicket of thorns and barbed wire.
911 Caller: He has left the roadway; he has not reentered!
Once out, Jackson appeared to be confused.
Jackson: I see a lot of cars, but I don't see my car. Where's my car?
Police: Where are you at?
Jackson: I’m in Edmond.
Police: Earlier you told me you were in Spencer.
Jackson initially agreed to a sobriety test but changed her mind midway through.
Jackson: Do I got to do this? Are you all serious?
Police: I’m asking you to perform this test.
Jackson: Do I have to?
Police placed Jackson under arrest.
Police: I’m taking you to jail for DUI.
Jackson: No, you aren’t!
Police: Yes, I am.
Jackson: No, you aren’t!
Police: Absolutely I am.
Jackson denied consuming alcohol and she refused a blood test.
Records show she has two prior convictions for DUI.
