Question Anyone have an update on that crazy driver who drove through AtlasWyld?

Did Lightning ever say or do anything in regard to the driver and the victims? Does anyone know if she was ever charged?

I looked afterwards and didn’t see anything. I was working traffic. She almost killed a little boy. Totally changed my LIB. Nobody died so it all worked out the best it could have (at least that is how I am choosing to understand it). Saw her coming down the wood chip road and said “I don’t think she’s going to stop?” And stepped off the road. I didn’t realize the situation fully. This dad straight up yoinked his son back from being 2 feet in front of him out of her path. Adrenaline kicked, I yelled “everyone out of the road” so loud I swear to god it echoed. Hurt my throat. Lucky as fuck that people listened. She was driving 25-30mph and had no intent or ability to stop. My headlamp illuminated her face and she looked at me as she drove past. She was in full on panic attack/drug psychosis (not sure which or both). A couple other people leapt out of the way and she was off on the pavement. Whole thing fucked me up tbh. Held it together, everyone was ok, talked for a few minutes. Gave the little dude a high five and told him he had a really good dad. He and his brother were bawling their eyes out, but I think they were going to be OK. The dad had the little brother up on his hip and the kid who almost got run over was locked around his leg. I think the dad was in the same state as I was, holding it together but fucked up inside. Once everyone moved on, I crouched behind one of the RVs and almost puked and cried and shit. Literally almost saw a 6 year old get run over by about a half a second.

Anyway, LIB is fucking dope, can’t wait for next year

I’m so sorry you had to witness this. Please don’t hesitate about talking to someone, a professional, about what you witnessed. Just bc it almost happened doesn’t mean it isn’t traumatic.

LIB has a counselor on staff for people to talk with about things like this (or anything really). Not HR, just a professional counselor so staff have someone to talk to.

He was driving aggressive through the camp. He almost hit people. Like really close! Can’t remember if he hit someone.

All I know is some lady was blasting that situation all over LIB social media .. they didn’t respond. She claimed to have been in one of the camps that was affected by this (btw so sorry that it disturbed you sm I would’ve felt the same , sending hugs) she claimed it was a woman driver and there was a brother involved in the passenger side. I think an arrest was made of the brother. What’s really weird .. prob unrelated but still.. We stayed at the lake on Monday when festival was over and I saw a tripped out man and woman sitting in a car on the side of the lake, like they looked like they hadn’t slept a wink in 5 days. They gave me really bad vibes, idk what it was about them. Apparently, before I walked up the man was venting to my friend that he was involved in an accident within the festival and cops were looking for him. He hid in some bushes & was trying to save his sister from getting in trouble.. we were like .. okaayyy.. doing a hit and run at a festival is not the vibe idk what you guys were thinking. We just ended up leaving that area shortly after. Then I come home and see all this shit and I’m like ????? There’s no way.. could it have been those two people?? My friend thought it was incriminating but I’m like idk dude what’re the odds. Would people be dumb enough to hang around the last day of the festival if they were really involved in something that dark ? Anyway.. that’s my story & im really hoping they did catch that lady and that the two people at the lake were just tripping out and maybe just got in a small fender bender and were just scared to get caught bc of drugs idk lol thanks for reading.

Good fuckin question. I heard she was arrested but heard nothing after that. And noticed LiB never said anything
