On Tuesday night, around 10:30 pm in Orange Beach, Alabama, a policeman on patrol noticed a car speeding.  He turned on his lights to pull the driver over and the car sped up.  A nearly 8 mile high-speed chase followed.

After crashing and rolling over the car finally came to rest on it’s top.  Police approached the car with caution,  weapons drawn.  They found an 11 year old girl inside, and they believe she had been drinking.

The girl suffered slight injuries during the crash and now faces charges of DUI, speeding, reckless endangerment and leaving the scene.  The leaving the scene charge was added because she sideswiped another car during the chase.

Investigators declined to state what the girl’s blood alcohol level actually was, but they did confirm that it was above .02 which is the state’s legal limit for minors.
