Fiery Tampa highway pursuit<\/strong><\/h2>

What we know:<\/p>

<\/div>

According to FHP, a trooper spotted a black Audi speeding northbound over the Howard Frankland Bridge into Hillsborough County at speeds exceeding 120 mph on Sunday at 2:56 a.m.\u00a0<\/p>

The car was weaving across lanes until the trooper executed a PIT maneuver, at mile marker 42 on northbound Interstate 275.<\/p>

After the crash the Audi caught fire. Troopers rushed to extract multiple occupants from the car. Including the driver, 19-year-old Kimberly Gutierrez.<\/p>

Troopers say they placed Gutierrez in the back of a patrol car when they noticed an overwhelming smell of alcohol on Gutierrez, along with slurred speech and red, watery eyes.<\/p>

Emergency crews transported her to a local hospital for medical clearance. While at the hospital, troopers say she failed several seated sobriety exercises.\u00a0<\/p>

While at the hospital, troopers say Gutierrez admitted to drinking five margaritas in Ybor City and then three Twisted Teas in Clearwater while out with friends.<\/p>

Gutierrez was discharged from the hospital a few hours later, and breath tests at the jail revealed blood-alcohol levels of 0.111 and 0.102, well above the legal limit.<\/p>
