Was she trying to kill herself too or what? How did she survive when they both died at the scene?

Luck, car engineering, and medical science. She was seriously injured. Was she trying to kill herself, I have no idea. Clearly needs mental health treatment which she's not likely to get in prison. Not that I think she should be free either.

Yeah, I don't get it either. Even if she's got a serious mental health condition, the odds of her not understanding that everyone in that car was likely to die are slim to none. Being unbalanced enough to be willing to end your own life, but not so unbalanced that you've already been committed or ostracized by your loved ones, is just so hard for me to comprehend.
