Authorities say the driver, 21-year-old Brianna Guerin, eventually stopped on the right shoulder. As the officer approached the car, he saw an infant and a young child in the backseat.

Guerin told the officer she was speeding because she had to go to the bathroom, despite passing several rest areas.

The car’s registration was also suspended due to failure to meet insurance requirements.

Guerin was arrested and charged with reckless driving, two counts of risk of injury to a child, reckless endangerment and illegal operation of a suspended motor vehicle.
