A woman led police on a dangerous high-speed chase at speeds of up to 90mph before hitting a dead end and jumping out of the moving car.
Julie Ann Allen was seen driving at speed in County Durham in the early hours of August 13, last year, when police attempted to stop her. But the 25-year-old decided to take off after being "encouraged" by her male passenger, leading officers on a chase that lasted over 20 minutes and saw her drive through three red lights.
Allen, of Spen Street, Stanley, appeared at Durham Crown Court on Tuesday to be sentenced for dangerous driving. She pleaded guilty to the charges at a previous hearing.
