A teenage girl from Missouri is facing charges after she fled from Kentucky police at 125 miles per hour, according to the Trigg County Sheriff’s Office.
Trigg County deputies were notified of a complaint Saturday of a brown Mini Cooper with a female driver traveling at speeds of 100mph and passing people in the emergency lane.
Trigg County Sheriff’s Office said when entering I-24 at mile marker 65, the deputy saw Mini Cooper matching the provided description crossing over U.S. 68 on I-24 Eastbound. The vehicle was reportedly passing vehicles at a high speed.
The deputy then turned on the emergency lights and sirens and got behind the suspect’s vehicle. Trigg County Sheriff’s Office said the suspect did not stop, but instead started accelerating.
The suspect’s vehicle began pulling away from the deputy as the pursuit continued for a few miles, during which they reached speeds of 125mph before eventually stopping.
The driver of the Mini Cooper was detained. She was identified as a 16-year-old from Missouri.
The teen was arrested and has been charged with improper lane change, reckless driving, improper passing, following another vehicle too closely and fleeing and evading police.
