Bond has been set for Tianna Bryson, who is accused of leading Illinois State Police on a high-speed chase on I-88 on Tuesday.
An Illinois State Police trooper observed Bryson going 107 miles per hour in the 60 mph zone, prosecutors said.
The trooper initiated a traffic stop, and as the officer approached her vehicle, Bryson allegedly sped off. The trooper again began pursuing Bryson and witnessed her reaching speeds of 120 mph, weaving in and out of traffic, and at one point drove on the shoulder of the road, according to prosecutors.While investigating the incident, ISP identified the driver as Bryson and she turned herself in to police later in the evening.
"Thankfully, no innocent motorists or bystanders were injured or worse as a result of Ms. Bryson’s alleged actions. The message is simple, if you hear sirens and see flashing lights behind you, pull over. Leading police on a high-speed chase is not the answer and will only make matters worse."All the news you need to know, every day
