She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle!

I asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from the office, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly.
