I had a car accident last night, it was my fault and I accept that. I told her I would take care of her damages and loss. but since last night the prices she is quoting me have gone from 6k to over 60K in less than 24 hours. I am a broke bankrupt school teacher and she is threatening to have me arrested if I dont give her the amount she is asking for.

So if you are broke and bankrupt, under what fanatsy were you pretending to have the money to pay for $6k worth of damages as opposed 60k or 6 million? That stated, report this to your insurance carrier and give the other person your insurance information and they will handle that initial aspect for you. If she calls the cops and there is some claim of criminality like you were DUI or fled the scene or such, whether true or a lie, you wil simply have to contend with that, since for some odd reason the police weren't called to the scene.
