Before being able to deal with that situation, the two had to leave to respond to a call about someone walking by themselves on the highway.

When the two troopers tried getting 28-year-old Rivera Oliveras into his car, that’s when suspect Webb ended up hitting all three of them with her own vehicle, police said. Local reporting says that the impact happened at a high enough speed to send the two troopers into the northbound lanes of highway traffic.

According to NBC Philadelphia, authorities are trying to figure out if Webb was the same driver that Mack and Sisca had stopped in the first place.

Webb has tweeted many times about getting drunk in recent months. Webb’s tweets celebrating being drunk date as far back as August 2021.”If you ask me, I’m the best drunk driver ever,” Webb tweeted on Jan. 15
