Pregnant woman faces court after high-speed police chase with baby on board

The 19-year-old driver faces multiple charges after leading police on a 168km/h pursuit with a 10-month-old baby in the car, police said no injuries were reported.

  • A 19-year-old woman named Kirsty Lee Parker faced court after leading police on a high-speed chase while a 10-month-old baby was in the vehicle, reaching speeds of 168km/h in a 110km/h zone.
  • Parker was charged with multiple offenses, including exceeding learner driver speed limits and reckless driving, while police arrested five individuals near the vehicle.
  • During her court appearance via video link, police prosecutors opposed bail citing a risk to the community, despite Parker's lawyer arguing she was vulnerable due to her age.
  • The court noted Parker is 11 weeks pregnant and has a history of driving offenses, with her previous court appearance just days earlier related to shoplifting.
