BYRON, Ga. - A Georgia police department shared an intense dashcam video that depicts a dangerous traffic stop.
The approximately four-minute video shows the driver nearly hitting someone standing at the scene and ramming multiple patrol cars. Police said Sierra Hibbert was arrested and no one was seriously injured, including a small child who was in the back seat.
Police said the incident happened Friday on Ga. Highway 42 when someone reported an SUV driving recklessly, almost hitting oncoming traffic
Byron police said officers tried to block the vehicle on Highway 42 near the intersection with Highway 49. The driver was uncooperative and officers placed spikes under her tires.
Police said the driver backed into a car and pulled forward, hitting a Byron police officer and a squad car. Police said they drove forward again and drove down Highway 49.
Cars blocked the driver in after a brief pursuit. Officers pulled the driver from the car and cuffed them.
Some bystanders appear to try to take matters into their own hands. Video shows them banging on the windows. During the arrest, they pull a child from the back seat.
"The Byron Police Department is extremely grateful for the citizens that helped," a statement from Byron police said.
No charges have been announced and the Peach County Sheriff's office is handling the investigation.

Hopefully.
I am not optimistic.
Don’t know why they didn’t have anything to break the windows
That should be a shots through the rear window moment.
Did you read the article? Can you read English? What is it about the part .. “a child in the back seat” .. that escapes you?
I don’t know about anybody else, but I always carry a folding knife with window breaker and seatbelt cutter built in.
CC
I did read the article. I also saw the driver attempt to murder someone, twice!
Who did the kid belong to??
The driver is referred to as her, then by the gender neutral “them” when she is cuffed. What’s up with that?
Is the writer trying to be politically correct by referring to her as “them?” After all, we can’t assume anyone’s gender by their looks now can we, at least that seems to be where the left is headed.
God help us.
Guilty.
UNIVISION is all over this story . “For once, it wasn’t one of ours!”
