A mother caused a high-speed police chase after panicking over family passports before a holiday
Everton: So, there’s this wild story about a mum named Sophia Dillon. She got into a crazy police chase, hitting speeds of 121mph on the M60. Can you believe it? All because she panicked about picking up passports for a family trip.
She was only 20 and driving a BMW without insurance or a proper license. Talk about risky! During the chase, she was swerving in and out of traffic and almost lost control behind a big truck. It’s a miracle no one got hurt.
When the police finally caught up with her, they found her two-year-old son in the backseat, not even strapped in. But here’s the twist: she claimed he wasn’t with her during the chase. She said she picked him up when the cops lost sight of her for a bit.
The judge couldn’t prove the kid was in the car during the wild ride, but he was clearly concerned. Sophia ended up admitting to dangerous driving and got a suspended prison sentence. She also has to do 150 hours of community service and can’t drive for 18 months.
Her lawyer said she was just panicking after a tough day, trying to get everything sorted for the trip. It’s a pretty intense situation, and she’s clearly shaken up by it all. Let’s hope she learns from this and stays out of trouble in the future!
