Seneca, who was driving a 2004 Honda Pilot, continued east, hitting officer Bobby Hall who flew about 15 feet onto the sidewalk before rolling to a stop on top of Hall’s legs.

Seneca left the car and attempted to hid in bushes near the scene. A third officer arrested her.

Hall and StClair were treated and released at Grand Strand Medical Center.
