Mother Fled State Troopers With Child in Back Seat

A woman is behind bars at the Fulton County Jail Tuesday morning after leading Georgia state troopers on a wild chase on Atlanta streets while her 13-year-old son was sitting in the back seat, WSB-TV reports.

Raven Taylor, 36, got into an accident on the connector on Monday, and was being questioned by troopers when they discovered she did not have a valid driver’s license or insurance. Taylor jumped back in her car and tried to get away, crossing over five lanes of traffic to exit onto a side street.

Once off the interstate, Taylor hit a tow truck, a Honda Civic, and other vehicles before finally stopping and being arrested. Taylor’s son and the other drivers were all uninjured.

Fulton County jail records show that Taylor has been charged with driving without insurance, failure to obey traffic signals, attempting to misrepresent tag, reckless conduct, driving with a suspended or revoked license, hit and run, fleeing and attempting to elude police, a divided highway/controlled access road violation, driving too fast for conditions, reckless driving, failure to maintain lane, and driving too closely.
