Type of usage?

1. She was stressed and over the limit, driving towards her destination.

2. Most animal bites are from a dog, usually one known to the victim.


How does 2 differ from 1 in terms of the information after the comma? In 2 'usually' feels tagged on the end, but the comma with 'driving' is just an optional pause. The sentence works either-way, with an implied 'whilst'.
