A stolen car was brought to a stop by police after a pursuit at speeds of "well over 100mph" on a motorway in North Yorkshire.
The Skoda Kodiaq was spotted on the A1(M) at about 00:45 BST on Tuesday. It failed to stop, rammed police vehicles and drove off at speed, North Yorkshire Police said.
The vehicle was eventually stopped after it left the motorway and headed the wrong way down a slip road at junction 42 near Selby.
A 19-year-old woman was arrested at the scene, with a man of the same age held nearby. Both were arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle, dangerous driving and failing to stop.
The force said the woman was further arrested on suspicion of possession of cannabis and drug driving, with both people still in custody.
