Just around the corner from her

Sonia stood talking on the phone when two guys suddenly started fighting just around the corner from her down the hallway.

Is it natural to say "just around the corner from her" referring to her location at that moment and not the place she lives? I hope you understand the question.

It is correct to say that, but it doesn't make sense to add "down the hallway" because it is no longer "just" around the corner from her.
