There were a number of people crossing the street at the time, and the woman accidentally hit one of them. The person she hit was seriously injured and was rushed to the hospital, but recovered.

Answer:

The answer is "No, since she didn't choose to smash her car anybody".

Step-by-step explanation:

While the woman might be guilty of murder, is if the peasant had already been murdered, the guilty fact that she had been almost killed by the peasant does not necessarily follow. Killing doesn't need the intention to murder; it will suffice to recognize an unjustifiably great threat to human health. As with all crime attempts, assassination attempts are deliberate crimes. Hence, it is necessary to kill. As the lady was not bent on harming the pedestrian, her assassination attempted can not be prosecuted.
