Sounds like she would be at fault by trying to pass a car that is making a left turn.
How bad is the other driver and car? That could be a drivers side T-bone situation. Glad to hear shes OK but i hope she learned a life lone lesson.
I did a similar thing in highschool by looking around my center console for a cassette tape and didn't see the brake lights in front. I slammed on the brakes and turned left the slide passed them on the left side and they turned right in front of me.
I tagged their front quarter DS quarter panel with my 1982 AMERICAN steel front bumper. It was they eyes of the driver right before I hit them that I remembered most. No-one hurt, insurance covered other car. I was grounded until my cars damage could be paid for. (2 months of hard labor on the Winn Dixie stock crew)
That was ~40 years ago and still locked in like yesterday.
