Glamorous teenager, 19, who led unmarked police car on 88mph chase across town ... trends now
A glamorous teenager who led unmarked police car on an 88mph car chase spanning five miles across a town centre while under the influence of alcohol has been spared jail after blaming her dangerous driving on her 'state of mind'.
Zuzanna Kozlowska, 19, jumped a red light, weaved between cars, sped over a humpback bridge at 68mph and took a bend at 82mph - unaware of the unmarked patrol car following her.
Kozlowska was eventually stopped after the officer who had been trailing her since she raced away from him at a set of traffic lights in Warrington, Cheshire, switched on his blue lights and told her to pull over.
She passed a breath test despite admitting she was under the influence of alcohol.

The incident occurred on October 19 last year when Kozlowska was seen driving her Seat Ibiza on A49 Winwick Road in Warrington erraticallty at 10.36pm after she drew up at a set of red traffic lights.
Miss Nicola Parr, prosecuting, said: 'The officer who was in pursuit of the defendant says that the Ibiza drove past him as he was driving an unmarked police vehicle so would not have known it was a police car.
