North Carolina cops have released a photo they say shows a woman
posing with her damaged car after fleeing from a deliberate hit-
and-run targeting her boyfriend in which another woman was
struck and injured.

Wilmington Police said that 22-year-old Courtnay Danielle
Lawrence was the person seen in video Wednesday nearly striking
the boyfriend and striking Christina Benson who was sent flying
after being struck.

Police announced they were looking for Lawrence Friday.

“Investigators located a photo of Lawrence posing with the
damaged car, a 2016 Hyundai Elantra, that was posted to social
media immediately after the incident,” police said.

Benson told WWAY-TV Thursday that she put her hands up just in
time.

“Had I hit that concrete without having them there, I don’t know
that I would be,” she said. “I don’t know that I would be here.”

Benson said the person in the car drove off but returned.

“I thought, for sure, this person would be like, ‘Oh my god, I
lost control. I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to hit you. This looks
crazy. Can I help you?’ No,” Benson told the station. “She
pulled up beside me and slammed on the brakes and said, ‘Where
did he go?’ And I was like, ‘I don’t know.”

She suffered a concussion and cuts and bruises, the station
reported.

Police said Lawrence’s boyfriend fled the scene but was later
identified.

Benson told cops he was an acquaintance.

Police said Lawrence was wanted for assault with a vehicle and
driving without a license.
