FAST AND FURIOUS

Woman, 34, hit streets just hours after court let her out | Motorist without licence was in a new £30k vehicle

A WOMAN jailed for driving at police during a highspeed chase was let out of prison by the appeal court and smashed six cars during a wrecking spree the day after she was freed.

Katie Reid, who has never passed a driving test, was sent to prison for six months on October 2 and disqualified from driving for three years.

Reid, who narrowly missed driving head-on into a chasing police car as they chased her across a field, lodged an appeal against her prison sentence.

Perth Sheriff Court was told judges at the Appeal Court let Reid out on bail on October 11, and within a few hours she was back behind the wheel of a car and causing city centre chaos.

Reid was driving a brand new £30,000 MG HS Trophy Auto when she crashed into another driver before striking four more parked cars and causing tens of thousands of pounds worth of damage. She initially crashed into a £40,000 Citroen Relay van before hitting a stationary Volvo V40 Cross Country, a Fiat Panda Active, a Volvo C30 and a Rover Maestro.
